Manage Community Email Notifications
What is it and why you need it
Communities help students stay engaged, ask questions, and interact with other members. However, if your school contains multiple communities, newly enrolled students would receive multiple email notifications from different community activities.
This can feel overwhelming and may cause students to miss important updates. To solve this, we have implemented a new setting that lets you control community email notifications by default for all newly enrolled students.
Students still have complete control over their email notification preferences and can enable any notification they want from their own account settings.
How to get started using it
Log in to your EzyCourse dashboard and navigate to Site Settings → Toggle Emails On/Off → User emails tab.
Scroll down a bit and find the Disable community notifications by default for new students option. Enable the toggle if you want to disable community email notifications for all newly enrolled students.
Click the Save button to apply the changes.
[Note: This setting applies to students who get enrolled after the option is enabled. Existing students enrolled before enabling the setting will keep their current notification preferences unchanged.]
The connected email notifications are: New Community Post, New Community Post with @everyone Mention, Mention in Community Post, New Comment on Community Post, and Mention in Community Comment.
If a student wants to receive any of these notifications, they can simply enable them from their Student Dashboard -> Settings -> Community emails tab.
[Note: Community post digest is not influenced by this new setting and is managed separately.]
Once they save their community notification preference, it will take priority over the default setting.
