This article explains how notifications work in Aula and how to manage your notification settings.

By default, all notifications are switched on. You can adjust your notification preferences, which apply to all modules you are added to. You can also mute notifications for specific messages and posts published by learners.

Overview

View Notifications

1. You can view notifications from all the spaces you are added to by clicking the bell icon at the top right of your screen.
2. A red badge shows the number of new notifications.
3. Clicking on the notification will take you to the comment or post.

Note

Your mobile device’s operating system settings override the settings in the Aula app. This means that even if push notifications are enabled in Aula, they will not appear if your device (iOS or Android) is set to block Aula notifications. To receive Aula notifications on your mobile device, make sure they are also allowed in your device’s settings.

Update Notification Settings

1. Head to your user profile by clicking on your avatar (profile picture or icon) in the top-right corner of Aula.
2. Click Settings, and you will be directed to the Notification preferences panel.

3. Check and un-check options as needed. Changes will auto-save.

   

Mute Notifications For Posts by Students

Mute Notifications For Messages

1. Head to Messages.
2. Open a message and click on the three-dots icon in the top-right corner.

Email Notifications

Email notifications for Comments, Posts, and Messages are turned on by default. If you use email filtering, you may need to update them and add [e-mail] and [e-mail] to your allow list.

Note

• Email notifications are sent once every 24 hours. You will receive a separate email for each space, with notifications grouped together.
• If you’re not receiving email notifications, please check your spam or junk folder.
• It’s not currently possible to mute notifications for individual spaces.
