Live feature

What we send you

Most of what PodSwap could tell you, it deliberately does not. The switches are per topic and per channel, and there are caps on top of them that no setting can raise.

Topics and channels

Five topics — disputes, health changes, room openings, announcements and the weekly digest — each with an independent switch on each channel.

Three channels: in the app, by push to the mobile wrappers, and by email. Email has the most switches and the tightest caps.

Unsubscribing is per topic rather than all-or-nothing, so leaving the digest does not stop you hearing about a dispute filed against you.

The caps you cannot raise

An announced opening is emailed ahead of time to the creators whose waking hours it falls in, never more than 1 room email a day per member across every exchange, and never between 22:00 and 08:00 in your own local time. A room opening on readiness alone is announced in the app and by push, not by email — an email about a room is still in the inbox tomorrow morning advertising something that closed last night.

Quiet hours need to know what time it is where you are. Your browser reports that when you sign in, and it is the first thing checked. Where it is missing, the timezone is inferred from the timestamps of your own activity on PodSwap — never from your IP address and never from a third party — and an inferred zone never overwrites a reported one.

The weekly report

Built and currently switched off. The weekly per-account report is written and scheduled, and its schedule is disabled in the product while the figures it reports are corrected. It is listed here rather than quietly omitted because this site previously described it as running.

Common questions

How many emails does PodSwap send?

An announced opening is emailed ahead of time to the creators whose waking hours it falls in, never more than 1 room email a day per member across every exchange, and never between 22:00 and 08:00 in your own local time. A room opening on readiness alone is announced in the app and by push, not by email — an email about a room is still in the inbox tomorrow morning advertising something that closed last night.

Can I turn off notifications but keep the important ones?

Yes. Every topic has its own switch on every channel, and unsubscribing from email is per topic rather than all-or-nothing.
