Idea: per-space notification defaults set by the owner

Bob Martinez Bob Martinez 3 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?

Appreciate the clear steps. The dry-run tip in particular saved me from a mistake I would not have caught otherwise.

This deserves more votes. It is a small change with an outsized impact on day-to-day use.

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

Following this thread closely. We are about to face the exact same decision and the replies here are gold.

For what it is worth, the same approach works with the PMPro adapter — the membership side is identical from here.

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