Weekly Digest email

I'd love to be able to customize the weekly digest email further to include things like new additions to the Library. Any more recent discussion about this topic?

Hi Harmony,

Thanks for the suggestion.

We don't think it's a sustainable idea to facilitate customization of the Digest. Sounds like you would do a good job of this, but the vast majority of folks would not. The fact that Digest auto generates in a user relevant way is key.

But we should indeed do a better job of featuring Library items in the Digest. You might want to suggest that in our feature request forum. https://forum.jostle.us/hc/en-us/community/topics

Is there a way to do a test send of the digest email to myself as the admin? I have not used this feature before but am curious about it, but don't want to suddenly send to all staff without seeing it first.

Each user can turn this on and off at (three dots to the right of your name on the main nav panel) > My Preferences > Email settings > Receive emails.

The email digest is automatically generated and is customized per person according to what they’ve read, where they are located, etc.

So most likely your people are already seeing the Digest. To see it yourself, go to My Preferences and turn it on.

Having the ability to customize some of the items featured in the digest would be VERY useful. Jostle should consider this moving forward

Hi Nichelle,

We actually have a Requests forum where you can submit your suggestions or ideas for new features as well as vote on suggestions posted by others.

If you would like to submit your Digest suggestion, just click the white circle icon at the bottom of the Main Navigation and then select "Suggest an improvement".

Nichelle already chimed in on that Request. Thanks for finding that Nichelle.

Brad

Oops, that was just me confused. But I've added you into that existing request Nichelle.

Where do I change our emailed Birthday greeting to employees schedule. It's currently scheduled to send a Birthday greeting email at 10 pm. We want to change it to 8 am.

Hi David,

If you go to Admin Settings > Views and Functions > Manage Digest (shown in the last section of the above article) you can customize the day and time for sending out your Weekly Digest email.

In that same area, if you also check off the box next to "Send Digest, personal birthday, and personal join date anniversary emails", then the time you selected for the Digest email should also be applied to the birthday and anniversary emails, as well.

Vince

Thanks Vince!

If we want the bday and anniversary emailed greetings to be of a different time from the weekly digest, how do we configure it?

I don't believe we have separate configurations available for the birthday and anniversary emails, as these announcements weren't originally designed as individual emails - they were included in the Digest email itself. 

However, if you'd like to see separate email configurations added to our platform, you can submit a suggestion to our Requests forum as follows: Click the white circle icon at the bottom of the Main Navigation and then select "Suggest an improvement" and fill out the provided form.

Morning, carrying on from this thread above around customisation, is there a place within Jostle I can edit the layout of the Anniversary emails for example.

Change colours, images, positioning of text and even the text within them ourselves?

Thanks

Hi Greg,

The content of automated notifications (Birthday, Anniversary, etc) cannot be customized or modified. However, the colors and logo that appear in the header of these notifications can be customized, as they're based on the branding settings entered by your organization in Administration Settings > Platform > Brand Your Platform.

Vince

Greg there is an existing feature request relating to this. I just added you to it.

Hey Jostle Team,

Do the digest emails include new jostle members? We had issue with jostle announcing new hires through the digest before their profiles were fully setup.

Morgan

Hi Morgan,

The only way the Digest would include announcements of new hires in your organization is if you had published a News article or created an upcoming Event announcing their arrival.

Personalized announcements, like Birthdays and Work Anniversaries were moved out the Digest a while ago, so if you're seeing mentions of new hires in your Digest that are not related to any content already created in your platform, then I would suggest contacting support@jostle.me so our team can look into this issue further for you.
