How can I be notified when there are new comments on a note?
How does someone leave a comment?
With Flocknote, anytime someone replies directly to an email or text you sent, their reply will be captured as a private comment on the original note you sent out. Private comments are only visible to admins. Notes also have an option to allow public replies, which adds a blue Reply button to the bottom of emails. For more info on public vs. private replies, check out the related articles at the bottom of this page.
If you'd like to receive email notifications of new comments on notes from a specific group, follow these steps:
- Log into Flocknote and select the church or organization you are a part of (if not automatically taken to your church or organization's main page).
- Select the notifications button (it looks like a purple bell) from the left-hand side under your church or organization's name.
- Click the Email me comments icon (looks like a pair of chat bubbles) for any group you want to receive these notifications from and then select the Save button.
If you are an Admin, you'll receive notifications of both public and private comments. If you are not an admin, you'll only receive notifications of public comments.
Alternatively, you can also get to these settings for a group by selecting the My Info button that is at the bottom right-hand corner of any Flocknote email. This will only open up your profile. Select the Groups tab and then you can turn on comment notifications for your groups.
We Couldn't Notify Someone of Your Latest Comment Notification
In some instances, we will not be able to notify someone that you replied to their comment. This may be because they have invalid contact information on file, they have unsubscribed from comment reply notifications, or from your group or network. If you believe you are receiving this notification in error, please contact us and we'd be happy to help!
