Admin notifications and Blink improvements land at BigTent

Yesterday we rolled out two much-requested features that are sure to improve the way you receive updates about your BigTent groups:

1. Admin notifications. We’ve set things up so that any admin who manages part of the enrollment process (membership approval, payment processing) can now receive email alerts each time a new member joins, declines to join, or needs approval to be admitted to the group.

By default, we’ve turned on these notifications for admins. There’s a link in each email to adjust your notification preferences.

2. Blink delivery options. When we switched the Blink — a system message that provides summaries of group news, events, member, and photo activity — to a weekly delivery schedule last month, a ton of feedback poured in that made us realize that many groups rely on day-specific messaging to stay in the loop about group events.

Based on this feedback, we’ve reinstated options to receive your Blink daily or on a certain day  of the week.

It’s always our goal to develop features that improve the lives of group leaders and members, and we hope you’ll enjoy these recent upgrades. Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback.

Best,

The BigTent Team
