- Go to Settings
- Find the Email Preferences section
Available Settings
Email Notifications
Default: Enabled
Toggle real-time email notifications on or off. When enabled, you receive consolidated notification emails when activity occurs on your projects (document uploads, status changes, comments, etc.).
Notifications use intelligent debouncing — activity within a 10-minute window is grouped into a single email.
Email Digests
Default: Enabled
Toggle daily digest emails on or off. When enabled, you receive a daily summary of all project activity at your preferred time.
Timezone
Default: Australia/Sydney
Your timezone is used to schedule daily digest delivery. Select the IANA timezone that matches your location (e.g., "Australia/Sydney", "Australia/Melbourne", "Pacific/Auckland").
Digest Hour
Default: 9 AM
Choose what hour you would like to receive your daily digest email. The time is interpreted in your configured timezone.
Saving Changes
All email preference changes are saved automatically when you update a setting. There is no save button — changes take effect immediately.
How Preferences Affect Emails
| Setting | Affects |
|---|---|
| Notifications off | You will NOT receive real-time notification emails. In-app notifications still appear. |
| Digests off | You will NOT receive the daily summary email. |
| Changed timezone | Your next digest is scheduled at the correct time in your new timezone. |
| Changed digest hour | Your next digest is delivered at the new time. |
Tips
- Keep notifications on — they are already debounced to prevent overload
- Set your correct timezone — ensures digests arrive when you expect them
- Choose a morning digest time — start your day with a project activity summary
- Disable digests if you prefer real-time — real-time notifications may be sufficient if you are active on the platform daily
