Email notifications: Account summary

Feature

We want to be able to give creators the ability to turn on weekly or monthly account summary email notifications. This will give creators a at-a-glance overview of how their account is performing, including number of new subscribers, best performing landing pages and emails, as well as total revenue.

Weekly summary notifications are enabled by default. You can manage your notifications under Settings > Notifications

Email notifications: New subscribers and purchases

We want to be able to give creators the ability to turn on notifications when someone has just subscribed to their list or purchased their product. It’ll give you immediate information about which landing page or form is performing for you, and how much money you've made in your recent sale.

Subscriber and purchase notifications are disabled by default. You can manage your notifications under Settings > Notifications.
