Email Digest settings

The Email Digest is an email sent out at a fixed schedule that includes recent posts from a user's specific post feed and the channels they are subscribed to on your platform. Hence, one user's email might look different from their colleague's email. The email digest contains a maximum of the 10 most recent posts and up to two featured posts.

Define digest settings

A Company or Group Admin can edit the settings for the email digest sent out from the platform. The email digest settings are set on a group level, meaning that each group can create its own email digest that best suits its users.

  1. Go to Administration > Settings > select a group for which you want to edit the email digest settings > Email Digest.
  2. Enter a subject line for your email digest. The title will appear as the subject of the email.
  3. Enter a message that greets your users as they open the email. You can, for example, give a short explanation of the kind of content that the email digest contains.
  4. Select the days that you want the email digest to be sent out to the users in your group. If you have marked, for example, Mo, Tu, We, Th, and Fr, then the email is sent out on all weekdays, i.e., Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
  5. Choose the time in UTC that you want your email digest to be sent. The time is always defined in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). We recommend converting your local timezone to UTC in order for the email to be sent at the right time. For example, 9am UTC is 11am CET.
  6. Select Save to confirm your changes.

You can see a preview of how your email digest will look on the right side of the settings.

Users can edit their notification preferences to override the days and time settings set in the Administration's Email digest settings and determine a custom interval and time for receiving the digest. If users don't edit their notification settings themselves, they will receive the email digest as set in the Email digest settings by the admins.
