Keeping your members informed, engaged, and connected is key to boosting retention and interaction. With Community Notification Settings, you can:
Mention members – Tag users directly to grab their attention.
Send system emails – Ensure notifications reach members even if they miss community alerts.
Keep engagement high – Automated updates make sure your community stays active and responsive.
A simple yet effective way to enhance communication and strengthen member participation!
Top Tip: Keep Notifications Relevant & Balanced
While notifications are great for keeping members engaged, overuse can feel intrusive and even lead to disengagement.
🔹 Use Sparingly – Only send updates that are truly valuable or time-sensitive. 🔹 Avoid Spam – If members get flooded with alerts, they may start ignoring them. 🔹 Personalized Mentions – Tag users only when necessary, ensuring messages feel meaningful rather than disruptive.
A well-balanced approach ensures strong engagement without overwhelming your community!
To activate notifications and ensure members stay engaged:
Navigate to the Left Sidebar – Locate the Settings Cog.
Click on "Notification Settings" – This will display all available notification options.
Within the settings menu, you'll find two key options:
Enable Notifications – Turn this on to ensure members receive updates, mentions, and system alerts.
Use Dark Theme – Switch to a darker interface for a sleek, visually comfortable experience, ideal for low-light environments.
After activating notifications in the settings menu, head back to your builder canvas.
You’ll notice a notification tab in the top right corner of the screen.
This tab allows you to view alerts, mentions, and system updates, keeping you informed in real time.
When users click the notification icon, a slide-out box will appear, displaying all relevant updates, including:
Mentions & Alerts – Directly highlighting interactions and tagged messages.
Comments & Posts – Allows users to quickly jump to the conversation where the notification originated.
Seamless Navigation – Clicking an alert takes users straight to the relevant post, comment, or mention, ensuring instant access.
Automatic Email Reminder for Unread Notifications
If a member does not engage with a notification within 20 minutes, the system will send an automated email via "Community Mention."
How It Works:
Ensures members don’t miss important updates by delivering an email prompt.
Helps maintain active engagement even if a user is away from the platform.
Redirects recipients directly to the relevant post, comment, or mention for seamless access.
Mentions are a powerful way to grab a member’s attention or notify an entire group at once.
Tag Individual Members – Use @username to directly mention someone, ensuring they receive a notification.
Notify Everyone – Use @everyone to send an alert to all members in the community, perfect for important updates.
Boost Engagement – Mentions encourage quick responses and keep conversations active.
Use them strategically to maintain interaction without overwhelming members!
Note: To mention everyone, you can also use the @all and @everybody
Important: To use the @everyone @all @everybody tags, you need to be a community ADMIN
