Consolidate notification emails

[jwpwhite]

When users like a post, an email notification is sent to the post owner for every like. For popular posts, this can flood a users email inbox with multiple emails and prompt a user to turn off email notifications. It would be great if like notifications could be consolidated for a specific period and sent as a single email. So if a delay variable was implemented in AdminCP (e.g. 1hr) that only sent user likes every hour, then a user would receive a single email with all of their likes consolidated. E.g.

Hi username Your post have received the following likes Post 'abcderf' has been liked by 5 users (user1, user2, user3, user4...) Post 'aegemr' has been liked by 3 users (user1, user2, user3)

Cheers xyz

I have just reviewed my 'Cancelled Members' and every one of them has complained about getting too many emails. I know that users can disable different email types in their setting but I don't think this is enough as by default users don't want to be spammed with too many emails.

I really feel that a logical way of consolidating emails will reduce member cancellations and benefit all users of the phpFox platform.

Hi @jwpwhite, thank you for your time. Currently, our team is working on the Mobile App to improve it and make it better, so we just maintain and fix bugs on Core/Core Apps. New feature requests will be reviewed and update when starting version 4.8.0. Hope you understand.

Regards.

you can for now, setup redirect to privacy for new users. This way new users can select privacy settings and notifications so they will select on off for emails. Should help you save users not delete accounts because of to many emails.

you can also make a page and redirect to that page when new users sign up that explains where to go for privacy - emails control etc. use that page you create and add it to redirect in admincp to redirect to learn how to setup privacy - notifications.

Either one should work so they know where to look to setup email - privacy control.

• Also I have created:

• logout redirect app for free in the phpfox store Look for expert/wlook You can download tye app for free. :)

  you can tyen use this app for all users

  you can redirect them when they logout to a page you create to show them how to remove emails in privacy settings. ??

Create Simple page that says:

Did you know?

To Turn off notifications for all emails or select which notifications you want on or off, you can log in and visit privacy section. Regards, Your domain.com

Something like that.

You can even make the page more intuitive by using a small video or some snapshots how to get to privacy section to turn On Off notifications by email.

You can even add more Did you know ? Items on that page to help users identify your website rules and places to setup thing correctly.

Just a suggestion.

• Hope this helps you in the meanwhile until phpfox version 4.8 when they start to work on adding new features :)
