How Do I Change the Notifications I Receive from My Groups?

When you join groups on Faithlife, you will start receiving emails and/or mobile device notifications in the Faithlife app to keep you up-to-date with group content. You can adjust these defaults in your settings.

You can adjust group notification settings at two different levels:

1. Set account-wide notification defaults
2. Set per-group notification settings to override your defaults.

You can set one account-wide default and then different notification settings for specific groups.

Example: You may set your notifications to “Balanced” account-wide but your small group notifications to “All in” so you don’t miss anything from that particular group.

Set Account-Wide Notification Defaults

These account-wide settings act as your defaults unless you override them for a specific group (as shown below).

1. Open Notification Preferences.

   While logged into Faithlife.com, click your profile picture and select Notification Preferences.

   

2. Adjust your global settings.

   By default, Faithlife provides a Balanced notification preference, but you can select any pre-configured setting from the dropdown menu.

   

   To control a specific setting, adjust a notification preference below. When available, click on blue underlined words to set a default for a notification setting based on your role in a group. Changes you make will save automatically.

   

   Note: To receive push notifications on your mobile device, you must first download and log into the Faithlife mobile app. Learn more. You may need to grant permission for the app in order to view device notifications.

3. Reset to defaults.

   You can force all groups and teams to reset to your account-wide default settings by clicking Reset all to my account defaults. Alternatively, you can remove individual exceptions to your global settings by clicking the × for any notification setting to reset that individual group’s preferences for that setting.

   

   Note: These options will show only if you’ve set notification preferences in a group or team that differ from your account defaults.

Set Per-Group Notification Settings to Override Your Defaults.

Any group or team notification preferences will override your account defaults.

1. Go to your group/team homepage.

   To provide more specific settings for any individual group, navigate to the group homepage (go to Faithlife.com and select the group in the left-hand Groups panel).

2. Open the Notification Preferences.

   Choose Notifications Preferences in the Community panel to fully customize your notification or expand Notification Preferences in the top of the Activity feed to choose Customize.

   

   Note: For quick changes for any group, use the dropdown menu at the top of the Activity feed to choose a preset for the group. By default, your group preset is set to Based on my custom global preferences.

3. Set custom preferences for your group.

   To control a specific setting, adjust a notification preference below. When available, click on blue underlined words to set a default for a notification setting based on your role in a group. Changes you make will save automatically.

   Note: To receive push notifications on your mobile device, you must first download and log into the Faithlife mobile app. Learn more. You may need to grant permission for the app in order to view device notifications.

4. Reset to account defaults.

   If you make any custom changes that differ from your account defaults, you can quickly reset those changes to your defaults individually or globally for the group.

   To reset individual preferences, click Reset for any notification preference that differs from your default or Reset all to my account defaults to remove all custom preferences for the group/team.

   

   Note: These options will show only if you’ve set notification preferences in a group or team that differ from your account defaults.
