Last year Vanilla released Default Category Following and Default Notification Preferences. Let’s review why you should enable both features.
Setting Default Category Following for new members in your community can help streamline user engagements and encourage participation. By doing so, users are automatically subscribed to receive updates from specific categories, ensuring they stay informed about topics without needing to manually subscribe. This can enhance their experience by providing relevant content and update your members on important information.
In addition to category following, you can also enable Default Notification Preferences. Setting Default Notification Preferences in your community ensures that members receive important notifications via email or pop-ups. This convenience encourages consistent engagement by keeping members informed about relevant updates, discussions and activities within your community. This feature ensures that they stay informed and increases their involvement.
