Use the Email Digest
By default Syndik8 sends every email notification immediately, one per event. The Email Digest groups all optional emails into a single batched email (daily, weekly, or monthly) at a fixed time. Always-on notifications (Direct Debit notices, payment-account changes, syndicate deadlines, billing-accuracy alerts, and a platform fee change for admins) ignore the digest and continue to fire immediately.
Turn the digest on
Section titled “Turn the digest on”- Open Account → Notification Preferences.
- The Email Digest card sits at the top of the screen, collapsed and off by default.
- Tap the on/off switch on the right of the card. The card auto-expands and the cadence defaults to Daily.
- Tap Weekly or Monthly to change the cadence. Each radio shows the send time in your account timezone, for example “Sent at 07:00 (Europe/London)”.
That’s it: your next eligible email arrives in the next scheduled digest run instead of immediately.
Cadence reference
Section titled “Cadence reference”| Cadence | When it sends |
|---|---|
| Daily | 07:00 every day, in your account timezone |
| Weekly | 07:00 Monday, in your account timezone |
| Monthly | 07:00 on the 1st of each month, in your account timezone |
If you change timezones in your account profile, the next digest run uses the new timezone; no extra action needed.
What goes into a digest
Section titled “What goes into a digest”Every silenceable notification type for which you have email enabled, except the always-on tier:
- Optional types (for example Booking approved, Squawk reported, Maintenance scheduled, Expense approved) go into the digest if their Email toggle is on for you.
- Always-on types (see delivery channels: always-on tiers) never go into the digest. They arrive as separate immediate emails.
The digest groups notifications by syndicate. If you belong to more than one syndicate, your digest has a section per syndicate.
Collapse the card
Section titled “Collapse the card”After turning the digest on, you can tap the Email Digest card row to collapse the body. The current cadence appears as a subtitle in the header so you can see it at a glance. The card always opens collapsed on every visit to the screen, regardless of on/off state; tap the row to see or change the cadence.
Once a digest has been delivered at least once, the card also shows a “Last delivered” line, so you can confirm the pipeline is actually running rather than just trusting the setting.
Turn the digest off
Section titled “Turn the digest off”Tap the on/off switch on the right of the card. Cadence resets; all emails go back to immediate delivery from the next notification onwards. Any items that were pending for the next digest run simply never get emailed as a batch; they are not sent immediately either, and they stay visible in the in-app notification centre.
Switch back to immediate from a digest email
Section titled “Switch back to immediate from a digest email”Every digest email carries a one-click Switch back to immediate emails link in the footer. Tapping it opens a confirmation page; tap Switch to immediate and your email cadence flips back to immediate delivery without you having to open the app.
This link only changes your digest cadence; it does not unsubscribe you from any notifications.
How a digest run decides what to include
Section titled “How a digest run decides what to include”Each digest run collects everything pending since the last digest that was successfully delivered to you:
- First-ever digest. There is no prior successful run to measure from, so the look-back uses a fixed window: 36 hours for daily, 8 days for weekly, 35 days for monthly.
- Every run after that. The window is simply “since the last one that actually went out”. If a run fails to send, nothing is lost: the next scheduled run (not the next hour) picks up from the same starting point and includes anything that piled up in between.
- Already-read notifications are excluded. If you’ve read a notification in-app before its digest run fires, it will not be emailed.
- Large digests are capped. A digest email shows at most 50 items, with a “+N more” link back to the notification centre for the rest.
If it goes wrong
Section titled “If it goes wrong”- A digest run failed. Nothing is lost. The next scheduled run retries from the same starting point and includes anything that built up since the last successful delivery.
- A notification doesn’t appear in the digest. Check that the type’s Email toggle is on in the per-type list, that the type is silenceable (always-on types don’t go into digests, they arrive immediately as their own emails), and that you haven’t already read it in-app before the run fired.
- You’re on a digest but still getting immediate emails for some types. That’s by design; always-on emails (Direct Debit notices, payment-account state, syndicate deadlines, billing-accuracy alerts, and a platform fee change for admins) ignore the digest setting.
- You can’t see the on/off switch. The Email Digest card requires the digest mode to load. If the load failed, the screen shows a retry button instead of the preference list. Tap retry; check your connection.
