Updated Feature: Notifications when Members Join/Leave

Recently we received feedback from a group organizer at Group-O-Matic with a sizable group that it would be nice to know when members leave the group as well as when they join (and who specifically left the group). Right now there are member counts displayed, but if you have a lot of members, it isn’t easy to tell who left.

We think it makes sense that if you are being notified every time someone joins your group(s), you should get notified when they leave as well. As such, we have updated that feature to notify you when members leave. The text associated with this setting has been modified to reflect this change. This setting is under the Control Panel in a link entitled ‘Edit Profile & Settings’.

Note that all members can choose to be notified when members join/leave, just once after a certain number of members join, or not at all. By default, notifications are turned off for new members and it is a choice for the original organizer when they create their group. If you choose to get notified just once after a certain number of members join, you will not be notified when members leave the group. The latter notification will only occur if you choose to be notified when members join and leave.

As always, we welcome your feedback. So don’t hesitate to contact us or leave a comment.
