Notification Types

You can configure preferences for different types of events:

  • Workflow Assignments: When you are assigned to review or approve content.
  • Workflow Updates: When content you created moves through workflow stages.
  • Group Activity: New content or discussions in your groups.
  • Guild Updates: Ratification results, endorsements, and guild announcements.
  • Mentions: When someone mentions you in a comment or discussion.

Configuring Your Preferences

  1. Go to Notification Preferences
    Click your username, then "Notification Preferences", or go directly to /user/[your-id]/notification-preferences.
  2. Review Each Category
    Go through each notification type and select your preferred delivery method.
  3. Save Changes
    Click "Save" to apply your preferences.
Recommended Settings

We recommend keeping "Workflow Assignments" set to Immediate (n) so you are notified promptly when you have work to review. This helps prevent bottlenecks in the approval process.

Digest Timing

  • Daily Digest: Sent each morning around 6:00 AM local time.
  • Weekly Digest: Sent Monday morning around 6:00 AM local time.

If there are no notifications to include, the digest email is not sent.
