I don’t get to post approvals fast enough because I am not watching the site all the time but I would do them right away if I got an email alert. Is there an option to receive email notification as soon as a post requires review? Thank you.

There is a site setting called notify about queued posts after that sets the number of hours to wait before sending a notification to all site moderators about posts in the approval queue. The setting defaults to 24 hours. You can set it as low as 1 hour. Setting it to 0 will disable notifications about queued posts. Notifications about queued posts are only sent to moderators, they are not sent to admins. If you’re an admin and wish to receive notifications about queued posts, you will need to grant yourself moderator status.

If you’re an admin and wish to receive notifications about queued posts, you will need to grant yourself moderator status. Is this documented somewhere? I’ve asked this question before and couldn’t get an answer so I’m very grateful for you sharing this!

it’s my pleasure. Just trying to help where I can. :slight_smile:

For those who find their way to this thread when looking for ways to enable more email notifications when admin attention is needed, the setting notify about reviewable item after looks relevant as well. That said, I’m not sure what the difference between the two settings is offhand, so am curious whether any Discourse experts could distinguish them?

I set notify about queued posts after to 2, then created an event as a non-priviledged user. It’s been almost 4 hours and no email. Looking at discourse/app/jobs/scheduled/pending_queued_posts_reminder.rb at 30d8364f0abba8599fc0b82df0d9017b54d85d21 · discourse/discourse · GitHub it looks like this should be checked every 15 minutes. a) what am I missing? b) should this be sent only to site moderators, or also to moderators of the category the event was created in (which is what I’m hoping for)? Also it seems like when I changed Notify about queued posts after to 2 (integer), it’s coming up as floating point. I don’t know ruby at all, so don’t know if this would cause any problem. [image]

Ok, I see a message was sent to my moderators inbox, which was previously set to tracking so I’ve changed that to watching. [image] Based on impersonating one of them, I think category moderators are not messaged as such. Is there any way to have a category moderator be notified that there’s a pending post in their category?

Is there a feature to email admin when moderated posts need attention?
