Be aware of Community-related notification notifications for you as well as your colleagues

     The settings have been changed for community notifications in order to give a better member experience (and less emails). Here's what's new.

How do you inform members of the happenings in your community?

It is important to notify your customers know about exciting discussions and encourage them to participate in discussions. However, it is essential to provide users the power to control their experience and avoid notification overload. In our conversations with our founders , they discussed the importance of making sure it is to maintain this equilibrium.

This is the most recent update for the community feature, it allows you to and your friends have more control over your notifications. That means livelier discussion without a swarm of inboxes, as well as a community platform that connects the members and you closer other.

Set your personal notifications settings as a creator member

Creators and community members have the option of choosing the types of notifications they'd like receive on each topic including new content or replies to your feedback or responses to your feedback.

After you've signed in to the community that you've become an active participant. Click Settings, then click "Edit" in the Notifications. (Creators will find this option under the Notifications tab of your Account Settings.)

It will show all the communities you are following. You can simply check or uncheck your boxes, and choose which kind of notification you like to receive from each location.

In this case, for instance, you could wish to be notified of updates on post, comments, or replies on a topic that's time sensitive like live Events and Announcements. If you're fascinated by other topics like Announcements, for instance, you might want to be only notified when there is a new article - or opt out of notifications for the subject totally.

You may also toggle your notifications on or off using the buttons "Mute all" or "Unmute the whole".

Additionally, you are able to change your preferences for notification settings per area easily by going to the "All topics"page or on an separate page per area. Click the bell icon, after which you can set your preferences for notifications.

Have a look at this help document for step-by-step instruction on how you can alter the settings of notifications - and feel free to send it out to customers, too!

Set default notifications for a topic

Creators are also able to choose the default notification settings for every area of your community. This allows you to have more control over how members experience.

Instead of sending notifications to members of your organization for each article in every topic, you could decide which subjects your participants will be informed about and what kinds of notifications they will receive.

Here's how:

On the Community tab of your dashboard, click "All topics". Following that, choose the "..." next topic you'd like to edit and then click "Edit the topic". From there, choose your notification settings under "Default notifications settings".

Users can alter these notification settings at any time to their account. If users haven't altered their settings, the settings will default to the settings that were created by the individual who created every topic.

We're hoping these updates to the community create an improved experience for you and your members. We appreciate you reading!
