We were discussing in a development meeting today about the idea of adding a daily summary type of email (not a PM; an actual email) that you could opt-in to, to help people keep tabs on important stuff going on with their account even if they don't log in every day and potentially increase engagement a bit. We've had some customers request this sort of thing in the past as well.

We were trying to think up the things that could be in the email, but I figured I'd see if anyone else had suggestions or ideas. These could potentially all be toggles you could turn on and off.

The list of potential ideas I had off the top of my head was:

- Summaries of games for teams you follow on the "my games" page
- Player level ups or veteran point level ups
- Admin announcements or new changelog entries
- Reminders on Important dates (playoffs starting, trade deadline, team expiring, etc)
- New achievements or records set (these are in the works)
- Trophies won
- List your players who are in the MVP race or top ranked globally
- Alerts from team owners
- Contract offers received
- Scrim requests received
- Recent count of alerts or PMs received
- Reminders about games you "circle" on the calendar
- It could maybe include a link to get some reward points on your birthday or something along those lines

Other ideas from users:
- Auto training completed
- Set individual time frames per alert type (daily for level ups, weekly for games, etc)
- Alerts when players have eq upgrades pending
- Endorsements received

Probably not all of those would be included, or might only be included at specific times, but ideas are good.

Any other things you might like to see with this sort of idea?

as long as i dont get an email for every alert and just an email with the bulk of the alerts like i think you're saying, i am all for it. By all for it, i mean i like it but theres a 99.9% chance wont use it because i have glb linked to my old email.

Yeah, I'm saying a once a day (or maybe you could set it to once a week or once every 2 or 3 days or or something) summary email sent out at the end of the day, not every time you get an alert.

I'm all for it as well, maybe include an alert for hitting your goal in auto training?

would it be possible to set things to daily or weekly?

say i want a daily alert of whenever my players level up, but id like a weekly summary of the games. Would it be possible to do that?

+1 from the Canadian then. Especially if it is all going to be ordered nicely in the email and not be a bunch of randomness where i have no idea whats going on. The concept seems cool, lets hope it looks as well as i think it should.

I know this would be a suggestion within a suggestion, but it could be a solution to a lingering suggestion in the suggestions forum (do i win for number of suggestions in a suggestion sentence?), but anyways....

At the bottom of each email, could there be a note saying:

The following players have equipment available for upgrade:
[Player Name] [Link]
[Player Name] [Link]
[Player Name] [Link]
etc...

Just a thought and it could put an end to that suggestion.

this sparks up another question. how would it be setup exactly? just a bunch of sections?


Player level ups or veteran point level ups
[player name][link] has leveled up!
[playername][link] has earned a veteran point!


Recent count of alerts or PMs received
- you have received 50 PMs and 200 alerts

Admin announcements or new changelog entries



Say it was setup in boxes like that but i wanted recent PMs/alerts sent weekly and the other 2 daily. Would all the boxes of info just shift up and be sent to me everyday while i just get an almost blank email letting me know ive sent/received 1000000s of PMs and 10000s of alerts in the last week? I just dont see how youd be able to cut out certain information and keep the emails clean and organized.

I'm not great with these things so sorry if this is a dumb question. I just dont see how some things can be sent weekly and other be sent daily when theyre all possible to put in one email.

This could certainly be a good place for that idea. It gets kind of hard to try and fit yet MORE info on the home page, lol.
