Manage notification preferences

Notification settings control how activity in your Space reaches you. You pick delivery channels, decide which categories of activity notify you, and set a digest cadence — and you can pause everything in one switch.

Before you start

• Sign in; notification preferences belong to your account.
• For browser push, use a browser and device that support push and allow the notification permission when prompted.
• Muting pauses delivery; it does not delete notifications.

Choose channels and categories

1. Open Settings > Account > Notifications.
2. Under Delivery channels, toggle Instant (in-app) for real-time notifications in the app, Email, and Browser push.
3. Under Email digest, enable daily or weekly summary emails and pick the frequency.
4. Under Categories, turn each group on or off: Security (login, password, security alerts), System (account and security updates), Social (new followers, comments, mentions), Commerce (sales, purchases, order updates), and Moderation (reports and content moderation updates).
5. Use Mute notifications to temporarily pause all notifications; the page confirms with Notifications muted.

Test your setup

1. In the Test notifications section, choose a channel.
2. Select Test in-app, Test email, or Test push; delivery follows your current notification preferences.
3. Confirm the test arrives where you expect — in the app, your inbox, or as a browser notification.

Expected result

Activity matching your enabled categories arrives only on the channels you turned on, summary emails follow your digest frequency, and nothing is delivered while mute is on.

Troubleshooting

• If browser push cannot be enabled, your current device or browser does not support it; the page tells you when push is not supported.
• If a test notification is not sent, re-check that the matching channel is enabled and try again.
• If email tests do not arrive, check your spam folder and confirm your account email is correct.
• If you receive nothing at all, check whether Mute notifications is still switched on.
