Email notifications

Configure notification email and toggles for new features, comments, and voter status updates.

Email notifications keep you and your users informed about activity on your portal. Open the Email notifications accordion in the project settings panel.

Email notification configuration requires an existing project. During creation, the notification email field is disabled with: “You need to create a project first to configure email notifications.”

Notifications for you

Switch	Description	Default
New feature suggestions	Email me when someone submits a new feature on my board.	OFF
New comments	Email me when someone leaves a comment on a feature card.	OFF

When either toggle is ON, a Notification email is required:

• Label: Notification email
• Placeholder: [e-mail]
• Validation: Please enter a valid email address
• Server error if missing: Notification email is required when email notifications are enabled

If unset, Bettter defaults to your account email.

Notifications for your users

Under the subheading Notifications for your users:

Switch	Description	Default
Roadmap status updates	Email users who voted on a feature when its status changes to Planned, In development, or Shipped.	OFF

Voter notifications do not require a notification email address — they are sent to users who voted on the feature.

Tips

• Enable New feature suggestions if you use Open for voting OFF and want to know when pending items arrive
• Enable Roadmap status updates to automatically notify voters when you move features through your pipeline
• Pair New comments with the Comments toggle to stay on top of discussions
