Notifications

Control your community's email sending settings and the default notification preferences new members start with.

Open it from Admin -> Notifications (the route is /admin/notifications).

What you can do here

  • Set the From address and Reply-to address used for outgoing community emails (saved automatically when you leave the field).
  • Choose your Email provider — Brevo (Sendinblue), Resend, or SendGrid.
  • Enable Push notifications so members get browser push alerts; members can still opt out individually.
  • Set default notification preferences for new members across Push, Email, and In-app for each event type: new message, mentions, replies, course updates, event reminders, level up, badge earned, and weekly digest.

Tips

  • By default, Email is only pre-checked for the weekly digest and mentions — turn on more sparingly to avoid inbox fatigue.
  • These are starting defaults; members can customize their own preferences afterward.
