Below is a list of types of notifications and how to manage them.

User Approval Notifications

This is a default notification if your site has enabled New Volunteer Approval. 

Default receiver(s): The site owner or manager will be notified unless there is a coordinator assigned. If there is a coordinator assigned, they will be notified when a new user enrolls.

How to manage: This notification cannot be disabled unless you disable New Volunteer Approval. 

 

Event Notification

There are various notifications that can be sent regarding an event. Notifications can be set up to send emails to volunteers when they sign up for an event, when an event is deleted, as well as a reminder 2 days prior the event. They can also be sent to the organizer when a volunteer signs up or cancels their RSVP.

Default receiver(s): Depending on the notification, the receivers can be the volunteers or the event organizer. Read this article to learn how to change your event organizer.

How to manage:  These notifications can be enabled or disabled per event in the Event section. Read this for more help.
