Simpler Notification Settings
We cut the notification settings down to three toggles each for artists and organizations — so turning off the emails you don't want actually works.
- Artist notifications cut from ~15 toggles to 3 categories
- Organization notifications cut from ~15 toggles to 3 categories
- In-app notifications always fire — no more missed events
Simpler Notification Settings
The old notification settings page had a grid of fifteen-ish toggles for every event type on Artsume — application received, application updated, review assigned, reviewer response, digest, nudge, reminder, and so on. It was confusing to set up, and honestly, some of the toggles weren't even being checked by the code that sent the emails.
We cleaned it up.
Three categories each
For artists, your settings page now has three email toggles:
- Applications — status changes, reviewer responses, anything related to an application you submitted
- Reminders — draft reminders, upcoming deadlines, profile nudges
- Marketing — product updates, tips, changelog highlights
For organizations, three as well:
- Applications — new applicant notifications
- Reviews — review assignments, reviewer activity
- Digest — weekly summary emails
That's it. Pick what you want, leave what you don't, and your preferences are enforced everywhere emails get sent — including cron jobs, bulk sends, and notifications triggered on another user's behalf.
In-app notifications always fire
The in-app bell icon now always fires for relevant events, regardless of your email preferences. If you turn off application emails, you'll still see a red dot on the bell when a status changes — you just won't get an email about it. That way you never miss a decision, but you also don't get pinged twice.
Scout emails have their own opt-out
If you're subscribed to Scout, the weekly digest has a separate unsubscribe link in the email footer so you can opt out of Scout emails without touching the rest of your settings.
