Nobody wants to miss an opportunity. But too many emails, or the wrong ones, can mean the important stuff gets lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve updated your notification settings so you can choose exactly what you hear about, and when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Hear about the right projects<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you work across multiple authority areas, or only want to hear about specific types of support, you can now filter your new project alerts by authority, location, and resource type. That means less noise, and more of the projects that are actually relevant to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also choose how often you hear from us: daily if you want to be first to respond, or fortnightly if you prefer a digest. And if you’re taking a break from matching, you can set alerts to never.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Stay on top of your matches<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By default you’ll receive notifications about the matches you own. If you need wider visibility across your organisation \u2013 for example if your team shares responsibility for social value \u2013 you can switch on notifications for all matches, so nothing slips through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Too many emails? Try silent mode<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Silent mode pauses nudge emails \u2013 things like reminders to complete a draft offer or update one that’s about to expire. It won’t affect your match notifications or new project alerts, which you can manage separately in your settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’d recommend keeping nudges on if you can \u2013 they’re designed to help you stay visible to community organisations and keep your social value activity ticking over. But if your inbox needs a break, silent mode is there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
