Set email notification preferences

Set email preferences to specify how to receive notifications in Connections. We can choose how often to be notified about updates from individual Connections applications and any third-party applications available in the organization.

We can control how and when we receive email notifications by setting preferences on the Email Notifications tab. We can enable or disable notification emails from other users, set the language to receive notifications in, and specify what email address you want them sent to.

When you enable email notifications, we can select whether to be notified about different types of content, and also specify how often to receive notifications.

1. Hover over the name in the banner of a page in Connections and select Settings from the menu that displays.

   Alternatively, we can enter the following URL into the browser to access the Email Notifications tab: http://<servername.com:port>/news/.

2. To specify the email address where you want notifications to be sent, enter an address in the Send emails to this address field.

   We cannot edit this field if the administrator has configured the deployment to prevent email notifications from being sent to an address that is different from your regular work email address.

3. To enable notifications from other users, select Receive notifications from other people by email.

4. Select the language in which you want email notifications to be sent from the Email language list.

   The options available depend on what the administrator has configured for the deployment.

5. Specify how often to be notified about responses to content that you create yourself. To disable notifications about content that you create yourself, select No Email.

6. Specify how often to be notified about the people and content that we are following. To disable notifications about people and content that we are following, select No Email.

7. Click Save to save the preferences.

What to do next

To return to the default email notification preferences, access the Email Notifications tab using the information in step 1, and then click Restore Defaults.
