Via emails

Besides on-site notifications, you are totally able to keep track of activities and events via emails. In eXo Platform, it is easy to control your own email notifications from a single location in the user settings. When this function is enabled, you will receive emails in 2 ways:

  • A digest email that collects all notifications during a certain period and is sent once per day or per week.
