I’m trying to figure out the best way to organize my community. It will consist of customers for each of our products (advisory councils). Right now I have them sorted by category (each of our products is a category). But some users will only be interested in one category. Is there a way to only notify them if there’s a new post in one particular category, or will they receive an email summary for any post, no matter what category? Would groups be a better route to go? And is there a way to organize and display groups on the homepage? Thanks for your help.
