Notifications

Notification Bell

The bell in the top header shows how many unread notifications you have. Click it to see the latest 10, and Mark all as read to clear them. All notifications opens the full list.

Notifications Page

The Notifications page (open it with All notifications under the bell) lists all your notifications. Switch between All and Unread, and filter by type, such as Referrals, Meetings, Comments or Members.

Notification Settings

Go to My Account > Notifications to choose how you are notified about each activity. Each row has two switches:

  • Email
  • App Push: notifications on your phone from the ChamberForge mobile app

A dash in a column means that notification is not sent that way. Each category also has a switch that turns the whole category on or off. In-app notifications always appear in your notification list, whatever you choose here.

Rows marked Managers only are only shown to group and organization managers. Security e-mails (such as sign-in codes and password changes) and receipts are always sent and cannot be turned off.

What You Can Turn On or Off

Everything is on by default unless noted.

Referrals (e-mail and push)

  • New referral received
  • Referral entered on your behalf
  • Referral marked Work in Progress (off by default)
  • Referral won
  • Referral lost
  • Your referral was sent (push only)
  • Your referral was viewed (push only)

A recalled referral no longer sends a notification, so there is no row for it.

Feed

  • Likes on my feed activity (e-mail and push; the e-mail is off by default, the push is on)
  • Comments on my feed activity (e-mail and push)

Meetings

  • Meeting reminder e-mails, one day before each meeting
  • Member RSVP'd to your meeting (managers only, e-mail)

Messages: New message (e-mail)

Coffee: You received coffee (e-mail)

Connections: You were invited to connect (e-mail and push)

Groups & Orgs

  • New member added to your group (managers only, e-mail and push)
  • You were invited to a group (e-mail and push)
  • You were added to an organization
  • Your invite was accepted (e-mail and push)
  • Group application approved / rejected
  • A group asked to update your profile
  • A member allowed you to update their profile (managers only)
  • New group application received, and new contact form submission (managers only, e-mail). These are now on by default, because someone is waiting for an answer.
  • New subscriber, subscriber changed plan, cancelled or resumed (managers of groups that collect dues, e-mail). These are now on by default.

New member added to your group is sent to the group's organizers and managers each time a membership starts, including when a former member comes back.

Your invite was accepted opens the new member's page in the group. When the invitation had no group, such as a connection request, it opens that person's page in My Network.

Discuss: You were mentioned

Reminders: Coffee reminders, the suggestion to thank someone with a coffee. See Coffee.

Push Notifications

Push notifications are sent to the ChamberForge mobile app on iPhone and Android when you are signed in to the app and have allowed notifications on your phone. Tapping a push notification opens the related referral, profile or request in the app. A push about a like or a comment on your activity opens that activity in the app's Feed.

If you do not receive push notifications, check that notifications are allowed for ChamberForge in your phone's settings, and that App Push is on for that row in My Account > Notifications.

Language of Notifications

E-mails and push notifications are sent in the language you chose under Locale in My Account.
