When Approver.com launched, we provided a single kind of email alert (the one you receive when someone invites you to review a new document). This alert could only be sent to a single email address (the one you used when you registered). It wasn’t easy to change your email address. It was impossible for a user to have more than one email address. And if you wanted to turn email alerts on or off, you were out of luck, which frustrated a few of our users.
Over the past year, we made it possible for free Approver.com users to add more than one email address to their account (and Approver.com Pro users can add as many email addresses as they like). But we never really made it easy to take complete control over where and how you receive alerts.
Today we’ve fixed that. We’ve launched Email Preferences, a new feature of your Approver.com profile which enables you to specify in a very granular fashion how you receive email from Approver.com. Now you can go to your profile, click on Settings, and turn email alerts on and off for each email account you have in the system. You can also use email preferences to subscribe or unsubscribe from our sorta-kinda monthly Approver.com newsletter.
We want to make sure Approver.com saves you time and works the way you work. For some users, that means receiving up-to-the-minute alerts on document status. For other users, it means staying out of your inbox as much as possible. We hope this new feature gives you some flexibility and saves you time.
