Idea: per-space notification defaults set by the owner

Bob Martinez Bob Martinez 4 weeks ago

Right now each member tunes their own notifications. It would help if the space owner could set a sensible default per space — for example, an Announcements space defaults to email-on-every-post.

Members could still override. Would this overstep, or is it a fair owner control?

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.

Solid breakdown. The only thing I would add is to back up before making the change — better safe than sorry.

Could you say more about how you measured the result? I want to try this but I am not sure what success would look like.

Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.

Tried this on a staging copy first and it behaved exactly as described. Confident enough to roll it to production now.

We ran into the same situation last quarter. What worked for us was starting small and only adding complexity when a real need showed up.
