Email Notifications

If you attach an email address to your LiveWhale user, the CMS will send you email notifications about activity you’ve asked to be notified of:

  • Form submission notifications
  • Event RSVP notifications
  • Page edit reminders
  • Page change notifications
  • Suggested content to your group(s)
  • Bulletins (messages from administrators)

Receiving Email Notifications

  1. To receive email notifications, edit the settings for your user.
  2. Check the box Send notifications via e-mail. (Even you don’t check this, you’ll still receive bulletins from administrators.)
  3. Choose an option from the drop-down menu to receive all notifications or important notifications only.
  4. Click the Save settings button.

If you select “Important Notifications Only”

You will be notified when…

  • Content is suggested to your group, either from another group or the public submission form
  • Your events receive RSVPs
  • CMS: Your forms receive submissions
  • CMS: Pages you manage have a note added
  • CMS: Pages you subscribe to are edited
  • CMS: Pages you’ve asked for reminders about reach their scheduled time

If you select “All Notifications”

You will be notified in the above circumstances, as well as when…

  • Your scheduled content is published or archived
  • Content you’re linking to is hidden, unhidden, or deleted
  • Your content suggestions are accepted or declined

Who receives email notifications?

When notifications are sent to a group (for sharing, RSVPs, etc.), you will receive the notification if that is your home group or one of your switch groups (i.e., “Additional groups this user can access”).
