Member Notifications

Explaining how member notifications work, including setup, delivery methods, and management options.

Everything that goes out to members automatically is managed under Communications in the admin.

info icon
Heads up: this used to live under Settings › Notifications. It's Communications now, and the separate "Email Templates" and "Rule Notifications" lists have been folded into one page: Notification Rules.

Notification Rules

Open Notification Rules here — Communications › Notification Rules.

This one page lists every automatic notification configured on your site, whatever triggers it. Each row shows:

  • Type — what fires it, e.g. Post Registration Rule, Post Order Rule, Post Order Shipping Rule, Post Digital Order Rule, Expiring Points Rule, Happy Birthday Rule, Point Milestone Rule

  • Subject — the email subject line

  • Email Delivery — On or Off

There's a search box in the header if the list gets long — it matches on type and subject.

Editing a rule

Click View on any row. The left side shows the rule's current setup plus an Email Preview so you can see how it will land; the right side is the Edit Rule form, where you can change:

  • Subject

  • Message

  • Email Delivery — tick it to switch the email on, untick to switch it off

Click Save Changes when you're done.

Adding a rule

Click New Rule and pick a Rule Type. Three types can be created from here:

  • Post Order Rule

  • Post Registration Rule

  • Point Milestone Rule

Give it a Subject and a Message, tick Email Delivery, then click Create Rule.

Note: {{recipient.*}} variable tokens work today — type them straight into the message body. A rich HTML builder and a per-type list of available tokens aren't in the new admin yet.
warning icon
Prize confirmation emails: make sure {{recipient.shipping_or_pickup_instructions}} stays in your Post Order Rule message. It pulls in the pickup or delivery instructions for the prize the member redeemed, falling back to your site default.

You can also Delete a rule from its row in the list.


What the Common Rules Do

  • Post Registration Rule — sent as soon as someone successfully joins your program. Great for welcoming members, telling them what to expect, and linking them to the app download.

  • Post Order Rule — the confirmation sent as soon as a member redeems a prize.

  • Post Digital Order Rule — sent when a member redeems a digital code prize, delivering the code.

  • Post Order Shipping Rule — sent when a shipping order is marked completed or the tracking information is updated. This assumes all bundled orders have been marked completed.

  • Expiring Points Rule — sent to members with points expiring soon.

  • Happy Birthday Rule — sent on a member's birthday, when we know it.

  • Point Milestone Rule — sent when a member crosses a points threshold you choose.

Tip: we highly recommend a point milestone email at a relatively small number of points. It encourages members to keep earning and gives you a natural moment to tell them about other ways to earn — and about new membership levels, if you use them.

Push Notifications

Ad-hoc and scheduled pushes are composed from the Members page — the Compose entry at the top of the Communications menu takes you there. Anything queued for the future shows under Communications › Scheduled Pushes, where you can cancel it before it goes out.


Automated Notifications

There's also a Communications › Automated Notifications page covering lifecycle emails — card expired, card expiring soon, no card on file, subscription renewals. It's marked deprecated and restricted to super admins, so if you need a change there, email [email protected] and we'll take care of it.
