Stakeholder E-Mail Notifications FAQ

Written by Jan Niklas Wick

Notification & User management

Can I select for which events my stakeholder will get notifications?

Yes. For each configurable notification type, you can decide whether it is disabled, enabled for everyone, or only enabled for selected people.

You can manage this in Space Settings → Email Notifications.

Some collaboration notifications, such as replies, comments, and mentions, are always enabled so customers do not miss direct interactions inside the space.

Do all stakeholders in the user list receive all the e-mail notifications?

No. It depends on the notification setup. Each configurable notification can be:

  • Disabled

  • Enabled for everyone with a known email address

  • Limited to selected people

Task notifications are sent to task assignees and watchers. A stakeholder who is not assigned to a task or watching it will not receive task-specific emails.

Are stakeholders who make a comment automatically added to the list?

Yes. Stakeholders who comment or are mentioned receive notifications for relevant replies and comment activity.

For task comments, stakeholders can also become watchers of that task, so they receive future task-related notifications.

Can my customers set email preferences themselves?

Currently, external stakeholders cannot set individual email preferences and can only unsubscribe from all email notifications at once.

Do the emails contain an unsubscribe link?

Yes, all emails contain an unsubscribe link.

What happens if the stakeholder unsubscribes?

If a stakeholder unsubscribes, they will be automatically stop receiving emails from Valuecase. You can also view in the notification settings, which stakeholders have unsubscribed.

How can I re-subscribe my stakeholder, if they accidentally unsubscribed?

Yes. You can resubscribe a stakeholder. Click Resubscribe in the E-Mail notifications tab in the space settings.

Can I send notifications to stakeholders not in the space?

Stakeholders don’t need to have accessed the space before receiving email notifications.

However, they should be aware and have consented that you added them to the space and its notifications.

Please note: When you add someone as a stakeholder, they can access the space with their email address. Every email notification contains a link to the space.

Can I configure notification settings in templates?

Yes. You can configure default notification settings in templates.

When a new space is created from that template, the notification settings are copied into the new space.

You can still adjust the settings later in the individual space.

Template notification settings only apply to new spaces created from the template going forward. They do not update existing spaces.


Content

Are the emails available in other languages.

Yes. The text of the emails is available in all languages we natively support as shown in the template settings.

Can I change the text of the emails?

No, we do not offer a functionality to change the text of the notification email, as they are send out automatically.


Technical Details

From which domain are the emails sent?

All emails are send from [email protected].

Can I send the email from my own domain?

No. Currently that is not possible, but something we will enable in the future.

How do you ensure my stakeholder receives the emails? What about spam filters?

We constantly monitor email delivery rates and will contact you directly if any issues arise. Additionally, we collaborate closely with external consultants and our friends at Brevo to ensure our email notifications reach your stakeholder's inbox.


Additional information for Valuecase users

Can my colleagues receive these emails as well?

You can activate your email notifications in your settings. Alternatively, you can also add internal collaborators to the stakeholder list in a space and activate email notifications for them.

How do I know if an email has been sent to my stakeholder?

The activity feed shows each email sent to a stakeholder.

You can use the activity feed to understand which notifications were triggered and when customers were contacted.

Do I get insights, whether a stakeholder opened the email?

Currently, we do not provide insights if the email was read by your stakeholder. However, these numbers are not always accurate since some email tools count anti-spam bots and automated security checks as opens. Instead, you can see if a stakeholder visited the space after receiving an email notification in your activity feed.

Can stakeholders reply to the email notifications?

The email is a no-reply email address. If stakeholders reply, they will be notified, that the email address is unable to receive mail.
