All Ning 3.0 Networks have the ability to make use of our Email Digest feature. This feature allows you and your members to choose to receive daily summaries of updates to content you follow, rather than getting individual notifications for each new activity. For a peek at what these digest emails look like and what they contain, check out this article.
To enable the Email Digest feature on your network, head to the Email Settings page in the Member Management panel of your network’s dashboard. To begin working with the Email Digests feature, check the “Enable feature” box and then the “Save” button.
You and your members are now all set to begin opting in to this feature. You have the ability to determine how much text from each content update will display in the Email Digest. Select “No text” to display just a link in the email, or select “200” or “Full text” to give your members some context of each content update.
From this same page, you can also customize your Email Digest with a header you upload, or you can include an ad that you’d like to have appear above the items in your members’ digest emails. Click “Save” when you’re done.
Enabling this feature will allow you and your members to opt in to receiving email digests. By default, your current settings for receiving immediate notifications will remain in place. To activate the feature for your account, head to your profile settings by clicking on the pencil icon on your profile page. Click “Email” in the tabs beneath your profile photo. From here, select the option to receive “Daily” emails and click “Update” at the bottom of the page.
To begin receiving normal notifications emails again at any time, head back to this page, select the “Instantly” option for Email Frequency and click “Update” at the bottom of the page.
