Comment and Reply Notifications

Fans get an email when someone replies to them, and you get one when someone comments on your post.

Conversations in your community don't die just because someone closed the tab. Single emails people when there's something new to come back to.

The two emails

  • Someone replied to your comment. Goes to the fan who wrote the original comment.

  • Someone commented on your post. Goes to whoever the post is credited to, for any comment or reply on it.

Each one shows who said it, their check if they have one, what they wrote, and a link that drops the reader straight onto that comment.

Who gets emailed

What happens

Who hears about it

A fan comments on your post

You

You reply to a fan

That fan

One fan replies to another

The fan who was replied to, and you

You comment on your own post

Nobody

Nobody ever gets two emails about the same comment.

How fans turn it off

Fans control this themselves on your store, under My Account → Email Preferences → Edit. There are two checkboxes:

  • New Posts — the email when you publish something.

  • Comments and Replies — the two above.

Both are on by default, and they're independent — a fan who mutes comment emails still hears about new posts.

Common questions

Can I turn these off for my whole community?

No — it's each fan's choice, in their own account.

Is there a daily or weekly summary instead?

No. Every comment and reply sends its own email.

Can I brand these like my post emails?

Not yet. These use Single's standard design — your custom post email template doesn't apply to them.
