Set 'Watching First Post' for certain categories, for entire Community

Hey all!

Wondering if you have a solution for us. Ideally, we would like users of our Community to automatically be notified (via email, and in community notifications) of new posts in the following categories:


So two questions:

  1. We don’t want them to receive emails for every new comment, just every new topic. Is there a way to set that for all users in our Community? Will adding these to ‘Default Categories Tracking’ do the trick?

  2. Is there a way we can override the current settings for users? Our Community is a little over a month old, and we’re wishing we set this from the beginning. They can opt-out if they wish, but it’s important that they see notifications for new topics in these categories.

aha, when we added “watch first post” we missed adding the default site setting.

Ahhh, okay!

Any idea when we can get this added? Also, would this actually send out an email as I’m hoping it would?

Thanks guys!

+1 on this: it’s key to running a mixed used case where we want to run one or more categories in a mailing list format, and others in a conventional 2-way discussion mode.

Thanks,

David

Sure, I can run a query for your instance which will change this setting for all the existing users. You can PM me the details.
