Does each EDIT trigger a new email notification to OP?

novinosrin — Thu, 13 Dec 2018 17:10:16 GMT

Hi Team,

I have been wondering whether or not an EDITed/Updated & re-posted message in a particular thread sends out a 'new' email notification to the OP so that they can track/compare with the content of what it was earlier in a previous email making out what the EDIT is all about?

Of course, the wise and sincere thing to do is when make an edit, comment out and add a note stating what's been edited, however not proud that I am lazy and the tendency to move on the next question with the current excitement deemed over, I am hopeful that the above is covered for the sake of OPs. Am i right??

Thank you & Regards!

Made another edit. And what would Maxim 4 be good for if I did not follow it?

Thank you yet again. But the result is 😞 just 2 email notifications

Maxim 5 would be the way to go as Chris, Shelley et team help is needed on this thread. Just didn't want to plug them as I didn;t wanna bother too fast

Which means you either have to activate the mail notification, or post a new reply to trigger notifications.

Hi @novinosrin,

Want to be sure I understand...you want to receive a notification every time someone posts and edits their message?

As an OP, you will be notified of every reply (sounds like that is already happening).

Are you getting a notification of any follow up edits?

(edited to include):

Thanks,

Shelley

It seems it is up to the member who replies to notify the OP and others of an edit. They have the option in this area. I did not click it when I edited my message:

Hi Shelley,

Thanks for pointing this out. How can I activate this feature? It doesn't seem to be available when I edit my posts:

Hi @FreelanceReinh,

Sorry for the delay. I was out of the office on Friday. I did some digging and it seems that this functionality is only available to admins and Super Users. I tested it on Thursday, but only with Super User profiles, which is why it looked like it worked. Given this information, I say wait a couple of weeks and you'll have this ability.

In the meantime, I'll see if there is a way to turn it on for everyone. Thanks for the question!

Best,

Shelley

Hi Shelley,

Thanks for investigating. It's not important to me to have this feature. I was just surprised to see it because I wasn't aware it existed.
