How to choose which emails you get

Pick every post, a daily or weekly digest, or announcements and events only, for each group.

You choose how often you hear from each group. Your choice is just for you, not the rest of your household.

Change it

  1. Open My family and find Email notifications.
  2. Next to each group, pick:
    • Every post: an email for each new post.
    • Daily digest: one email a day with new posts. This is where everyone starts.
    • Weekly digest: one email a week, on Mondays.
    • Announcements and events only: no emails about everyday posts.
  3. It saves as soon as you pick.

Posts and events in a Circle reach only that Circle's members (and Admins). For an open Circle, join it on the Circles tab to hear about it.

Digests go out once a morning (7am Arizona time); My family shows that time in your own time zone.

Always sent

Whatever you choose, you'll still get:

  • Announcements, right away.
  • New events, right away.
  • A reminder the day before events you said you're going to (or maybe, or are waitlisted for).
  • A nudge when a direct message has been waiting for you for more than an hour. It says who wrote, never what they said.

Every email has a link back to these settings at the bottom.
