How to manage your email notifications

Last updated: July 27, 2026

The Notifications section of Settings > Personal controls which emails Edvisor sends to your own account, as a set of checkboxes. School users can toggle new-application emails (with a Customize option, plus Direct Sales assigned/unassigned application notifications), agency connection requests, new agency portal sign-ups, and the monthly School Insights digest; agency users see only the two Direct Sales application options. Also on the same page: 'Email me about my tasks' under Other Preferences and 'Send me a weekly activity report email' under Activity Center Notification, whose report type is set automatically by role.

Edvisor can email you about applications, your tasks, and activity. The options you see depend on whether you are a school user or an agency user. This article covers both, plus the settings that are the same for everyone.

What it is

Notification settings on the Personal tab control which emails Edvisor sends you. Each option is a checkbox you can turn on or off.

Why it matters

  • Get the updates you care about, without inbox overload.
  • Make sure you do not miss important events like new applications.

Before you start

These settings apply to your own account only.

Step by step

1. Open your notification settings

  1. Click the user icon (your initials) in the top right.
  2. Click Settings and open the Personal tab.
  3. Scroll to the Notifications section.

2. Choose which emails you receive

The options in the Notifications section depend on your account type.

If you are a school user, you can turn on or off:

  • Email me when there's a new application — click Customize to fine-tune which applications trigger an email.
  • Email me when an agency requests to connect
  • Email me when a new agency signs up to agency portal
  • Email me the monthly School Insights digest

If you are an agency user, you can turn on or off:

  • Receive application notifications (Direct Sales)
  • Receive unassigned application notifications (Direct Sales)

3. Set your task and activity emails (all users)

Higher up on the same page, both school and agency users can control:

  • Email me about my tasks (under Other Preferences).
  • Send me a weekly activity report email (under Activity Center Notification). The report type is set automatically based on your role.

Your changes save on this page.

Tips and common issues

  • If you stop getting an expected email, check that its box is still ticked here.
  • Some options depend on your role and the features your account uses, so you may not see every option.
