Manage your email preferences

All Roles

StandShare sends emails for account updates, event reminders, announcements, and more. You can control which categories of email you receive and manage your preferences from the Settings page.

Email Categories

StandShare groups emails into five categories:

Category	What It Includes	Can Be Disabled?
Account	Password changes, email verification, and security alerts.	Yes
Event	Event reminders, assignment notifications, and schedule changes.	Yes
Announcement	Organization-wide announcements from your admins.	Yes
Platform	StandShare product updates and new feature announcements.	Yes
Marketing	Promotional content and tips. Disabled by default.	Yes

note

System notifications and critical account alerts (such as security warnings) cannot be disabled. These are always delivered to keep your account safe.

Change Your Email Preferences

Unsubscribe from an Email

Every StandShare email includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Clicking it takes you to a confirmation page:

1. The page shows which email category you are about to unsubscribe from (for example, "Event Reminders").
2. A note reminds you that you can re-enable these emails anytime in Settings.
3. Click Confirm Unsubscribe.
4. A success message confirms you have been unsubscribed.

From the confirmation page, you can click Manage Email Preferences to go to Settings and adjust other categories, or click Go to Dashboard to return to your home page.

Re-Enable Emails You Unsubscribed From

If you change your mind after unsubscribing:

1. Go to Settings and click the Notifications tab.
2. Find the category you unsubscribed from.
3. Turn the toggle back on.
4. Click Save Email Preferences.

In-App Messages

Some notifications also appear inside StandShare:

• Feature upgrade prompts -- If you try to access a feature that requires a higher subscription tier, a toast notification appears explaining the limitation.
• Session expiration -- If your login session expires, a message prompts you to sign in again.
• Success and error messages -- Actions like saving settings, submitting forms, or completing transactions show brief confirmation or error messages at the top of the page.

These in-app messages are not affected by your email preference settings.

Tips

• The Marketing category is turned off by default. You only receive marketing emails if you opt in.
• If you are not receiving expected emails, check your spam or junk folder first, then verify your preferences in Settings.
• Unsubscribing from a category through an email link has the same effect as turning it off in Settings.
