Email notifications

I'm the Stake Executive Secretary in my stake. I am subscribed to get email notifications on Official Communications, and I also setup email alerts on calendar items, but I never get any of those notifications. I do however get emails from LCR about Missionary and Priesthood Ordination submissions. Anyone have insights on what might be going on with these mission notifications?

As far as calendar notifications, the person scheduling it has to select the option to send notifications for each event. Even then, the reliability is iffy.

I'm the one who is scheduling the events and I set the alert notification to fire off a few days ahead of time. I occasionally see alerts when others have scheduled things.

The "send email x days before event" seems to be the most problematic/iffy. The "send now" is more reliable, but not always.

My wife is the owner of a stake calendar, and has set up all events with 2 or 3 day pre-event email notifications. But no-one gets the notifications. Any recommendations to make the system work as indicated that it should?

Unfortunately, I have never seen a notification actually get sent when it was set for some time before the event. And in many cases, an immediate notification is not sent either. This has been a challenge since the beginning of the current Calendar, and I can only suggest that you send Feedback to the developers.

Others have seen it work, but I have yet to hear anyone say that it is reliable. We no longer use the function.

How do I save changes to my email newsletters settings?

Which one are you referring to? If from the church, https://ldsaccount.lds.org/subscriptions

If from the calendar:
Make sure "Allow email reminders for calendar events" is checked in the Calendar Settings AND you have "notifications" checked for each calendar you want to receiver notifications from in the calendar subscriptions. (Main calendar page, click on the ">>" button at the top of the left column.)

This is most likely not the place for this, but I am legally blind and struggling to find d where I can change my email notification settings in my account. It is important to me to see when my tithing have been processed as I will not spend any other money until I see that you've received them, and I cannot find the settings! Can someone please help? Thank you!!!

Log onto the Donations page. If you do not already have the page bookmarked for quick access, the link to the Donations page can be found in the Resources menu on the ChurchofJesusChrist.org menu bar. Once signed in to the Donations page select 'Settings' on the Donations menu found on the left of the page. Scroll to the bottom of the Settings page to the 'Notification Preferences' section. The first three preference items are the preferences for donations emails. They are 'General Notification Emails', 'Donation Submitted, 'and 'Donation Recorded'. Select the checkbox for the messages you want to receive. The fifth, and last, preference item is 'Use a different email address for notifications'. Check this and a textbox will show up below that option for you to enter a different email address for notifications. This email address can be a different email address from your Church account, or membership record, contact email address.
