Deal room notifications setup
To change your deal room’s notification settings:
go to deal room settings
navigate to the "Preferences" tab
click on "Notifications" in the Configuration section
You can choose what notifications and how your members receive about activities in your deal room. It is possible to choose between three settings for each listed activity that can trigger notifications:
The activity has a regular priority, meaning an in-app notification is enabled for deal room members.
"Important" — deal room members will receive a separate email notification every time this activity happens (except for when they're online on the platform).
"Disabled" — deal room members don't receive notifications about this activity.
There are some activities that are marked as "important" by default and cannot be given regular priority. Your members are notified about those activities always via email unless you have disabled those notifications.
Actual notifications your members get may vary from member to member, depending on their access group, participation in deal room activities and personal notifications settings (each user can overwrite the default deal room notifications setting with their personal notifications preferences).
Activities, necessary access levels and other prerequisites for receiving a notification about the activity are explained in the following table.
Round leads can be:
any members who have been given the round lead rights in the specific funding round
members of deal rooms with lead rights who have "full edit" or "view companies and create funding rounds" access to companies in that deal room
Funding round participants are users who have marked funding interest in the round (or on the company application if no funding round has been created) or on whose behalf a funding interest has been added.
* Funding round participants do not receive notifications about funding round related activities if they have marked that they are not interested in the application.
