By default, forum users do not receive an email notification for posts they make themselves. If you'd like users to receive a confirmation email when they post, you can enable this feature.
Enabling the feature (forum owner)
As the forum owner, you can enable this feature for your entire forum:
- Log in to your forum as the administrator
- Go to Settings > Notifications
- Enable the Email Own Posts option
Once enabled, all users on the forum will automatically start receiving email notifications for their own posts. Individual users can turn this off in their preferences if they prefer not to receive these emails.
For individual users
If your forum owner has enabled this feature, you can choose to stop receiving emails for your own posts:
- Log in to the forum
- Click your avatar and go to Settings > Notifications
- Disable the My Posts toggle
By default, this toggle is enabled for all users when the forum owner turns on the feature.
API access
For forums using the REST API, the ownPostEmails boolean field is available on the user object (GET) and user update schema (PUT). This field is only visible when the forum owner has enabled the feature.
