Default Notification Settings

By default, when someone creates an OpenSports account, they are subscribed to all of the OpenSports notifications (push notifications and/or email notifications), including:

  • Event invites (if your group sends invites to events)
  • Event reminders 24h before an event
  • Waitlist notification if a spot opens and you’re on the waitlist
  • Event chat & Direct messages: if a chat is active, an email will get sent every 15 mins with a summary of the messages that were sent over the last 15 mins
  • Event changes and cancellations — the event admin can select if they want attendees to get notified of the changes
  • Group invites
  • Group announcements from all the groups you’re a part of
  • League announcements from all the leagues & tournaments you’re a part of
  • Team roster changes
  • Match changes & results
  • Staff updates: receive notification when you are added or removed from a match/event as a staff member

How members should expect to receive their notifications:

  • If they have the App with push notifications from OpenSports enabled: they will receive push notifications to their phone. Note: They have to have push notifications from OpenSports turned on in their phone’s settings
  • If they have the App but push notifications from OpenSports turned off: notifications will go to email
  • If they have a web account: notifications will go to email*

*The one caveat with email is if someone creates an OpenSports account with a Facebook login, depending on their permissions in Facebook, they may not have an email address attached to their OpenSports account.
