The platform includes a set of default notifications that cannot be disabled. These notifications can be customised and, in some cases, personalised, but they cannot be deleted or fully turned off.

These platform emails are sent automatically by the system, they are not the same as emails created through automations.

Types of platform notifications

The platform includes a set of default notifications that inform users about important actions and system events. These notifications are sent automatically and cannot be disabled, but their content can be customized in most cases.

They are divided into two main categories:

  • General platform notifications

  • Session-related notifications

Both types help ensure users stay informed and engaged throughout their learning journey.


General platform notifications and emails

Our platform offers a wide range of general notifications/emails to keep users informed and engaged. The table below highlights all the notification/email types learners could receive.

Notification/Emails type

Details

Invitation email

An email is sent to each user to set up their account.

To edit the text: Terminology>emails>invite>text

Invitation reminder email

A follow-up email can be sent to users to join the platform after receiving the initial invitation. These emails are manually triggered via Users>Invitations.


When sending a reminder of the invitation, you can add an additional message navigating to: Users>Invitations>select user(s) then click on "Send reminder".

Welcome back email

An email is sent to welcome users back to the platform after being unuspended.
​

To edit the email's text navigate to Terminology>emails>unsuspended>title

Password reset

Users receive an email which assists them in resetting their password.


To edit the email text to reset the passord: Terminology>emails>invite>forgotpass.

Digest notification

Digest emails bundle all notifications from the social timeline about new posts from colleagues, or trainers and comments on your own posts. Each email links directly to the timeline, making it easy to jump back into the conversation.

You can adjust this notifications' frequency via user profile (Profile>Settings>platform update emails), but make sure the platform has the 'Social timeline' feature enabled (Settings>Features>Social timeline).
​
To change terms in the Social timeline go to: Terminology>emails>digest and select what you want to edit.

Learners are notified when a peer has asked for feedback on Social Challenges.

Terminology>feedback>notifications. You can then choose whether to edit the link attached to the feedback request, the message, or the title.

Admins receive a notification confirming that a user import process has been completed.

To edit the text of this message navigate to Terminology>emails>provisioning>message.
