docs(admin): Team notification emails are engagement rules now
The Teams page gains the section engagement Phase 6 owes it. The operator-facing fact is the one that has to land first: Team emails used to send with no configuration and now arrive switched off, so nobody gets them until a rule is turned on in Admin → Engagement → Rules. Also says what each of the four seeded rules sends and why the two roster ones ship off, that a rule decides whether the site sends at all while members still choose per Team, why a digest is re-read at send time, and that unsubscribe links in mail already sent still work — now stopping the emails they came with without also silencing that Team's push.

## Team notification emails
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Team emails are sent by the engagement rules, and they arrive switched off.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Someone posting in a Team forum used to send mail with no configuration at all. It now goes
|
||||||
|
through the same engine as everything else the site sends: the forum post raises an event,
|
||||||
|
an **engagement rule** decides who is told and through which message template, and the
|
||||||
|
outbox delivers it. Push notifications to the app and the Discord bridge below are
|
||||||
|
unaffected — only the email moved.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The practical consequence on an existing site: **nobody gets Team email until you turn a
|
||||||
|
rule on.** Open **Admin → Engagement → Rules**. Four rules are waiting there, one per Team
|
||||||
|
event, all switched off, and the screen says so at the top for as long as they all are.
|
||||||
|
Switch on the ones your site wants.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Rule | Sends when |
|
||||||
|
|---|---|
|
||||||
|
| **Team forum posts** | someone posts a new thread or reply |
|
||||||
|
| **Team announcements** | a leader posts an announcement |
|
||||||
|
| **Team — new member** | someone joins, at most once an hour per person |
|
||||||
|
| **Team — leadership change** | a new leader is named, at most once an hour per person |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The first two are the ones most sites want. The last two describe things that already show
|
||||||
|
up on the Team's activity feed and arrive from a sweep rather than from a person doing
|
||||||
|
something — which is why they ship off and with a cooldown.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<Aside type="note" title="Members still control their own mail">
|
||||||
|
A rule decides whether the site sends at all. Each member still chooses, per Team, between
|
||||||
|
no email, one message per post, and a daily digest — on their own notifications screen or
|
||||||
|
through the unsubscribe link in any Team email. Turning a rule on does not sign anybody up.
|
||||||
|
</Aside>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Digests are re-read at the moment they are sent**, not assembled as posts arrive. A site
|
||||||
|
that was down for two days sends one digest rather than two days of backlog, a post a
|
||||||
|
moderator hid is not in it, and somebody who lost access to a forum between the post and the
|
||||||
|
send does not receive it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Unsubscribe links keep working.** A link in mail sent before this change still does what
|
||||||
|
it says. What changed is that it is now precise: it stops the emails it came with and leaves
|
||||||
|
that Team's push notifications alone, where before it silenced both.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can change what any of these messages say — see
|
||||||
|
[Message templates](/docs/administration/message-templates/) — and see who was actually
|
||||||
|
sent what in **Admin → Engagement → Send log**.
