Alerts for business accounts

[Ajdin]

Hi,

This is more of a suggestion aimed to towards people who actually actively use the business account feature and have multiple people added to it.

The biggest downside of the system right now is that the subaccounts aren't getting any notifications from the activity that happens on the business account. This includes email and regular alerts.

I think all alert/email preferences that the business account has set, should apply for all subusers and it's emails.

Example:

1. Business account subscribes to thread to receive alerts. All sub accounts should receive alerts.
2. Business account has the feature enabled which emails on PM response or creation. All sub accounts get said email.
3. Business account subscribers to thread to receive email notifications. All sub accounts should receive notifications.

Pretty simple and common sense.

With an option to disable it.

One of my business accounts gets 30+ alerts a day, if I had to sort through those along with my regular alerts that would be too much. Perhaps separate sections like "alerts" and "business alerts".

Or don't subscribe to every thread or post to prevent getting that amount of alerts.

As Hannes stated, it can be optional meaning you wouldn't be affected by this if you disabled it.

I'll move this to pending, thanks for the suggestion.

In our migration to XF2 one of our plans is to completely retire our existing business accounts system and instead opt to have business threads and business resources. If you’d like to read more about this, please do so here: https://www.mc-market.org/threads/571766/

Since this suggestion is about our current system which is soon to be discontinued in our migration, we won’t be making this suggested change.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion
