Notification Settings / Preferences
When you join a SocialGlow Group, you have the option to enable different kinds of notifications
Notifications are those alerts that pop up on your phone, tablet, or computer to let you know about something you may want to be reminded of or know about.
This is common with downloaded apps. But you might also get emails or text messages to your phone.
We understand the importance of providing Notifications for you to stay informed! We also know that folks have different ways they prefer to be notified, so we've offered several options with the ability to select which types you want to use.
Mobile App
Email
Push notifications
SMS (text messages)
We have a free SocialGlow mobile app, available in the App Store and Google Play store. This is the ideal option, for ease of use and to stay up-to-date on the go. This option would include being notified of new posts, replies to your comments, and if you are tagged in a post or comment.
Your group's admin may opt to send SMS (text) notifications when there is an event that is about to start.
You would not receive a text message for new posts, comments, or tags.
Email
With this option, you would receive an email when a group you are in has an event that is about to start.
This would not include being notified of new posts, comments, or tags.
This option would enable notifications through your web browser, and would include being notified of new posts, replies to your comments, and if you are tagged in a post or comment.
You can edit your preferences and the type of notifications you receive at anytime.
