Email notifications
Get a Daily Digest email each morning with your Discord community's member growth, new ratings and comments, and listing page views.
On this page
The Daily Digest is a short email that recaps yesterday for your Discord community: how many members joined and left, new ratings and comments, and how many people viewed your community page on Farm Sim Game. It's an easy way to keep an eye on your server without opening the dashboard every day.
Before you start#
- You need at least one email address that can receive the digest. It doesn't need a Farm Sim Game account.
- The Engagement numbers come from your public community page. See Community listing to set it up.
- Member joins and leaves are counted by the bot, so the bot must be in your server.
Set it up#
It's under Automation & alerts in the sidebar.
Switch on Send Daily Digest Email.
Type it in Send Digest To. To send it to more people, separate the addresses with a comma.
Click Update Email Notifications. If it's already past 4:00 AM Central, your first digest (covering yesterday) can arrive within a few minutes. After that, one arrives each morning.
To stop the digest, switch off Send Daily Digest Email and click Update Email Notifications.
Settings explained#
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Send Daily Digest Email | Sends the digest once a day, after 4:00 AM Central, recapping the previous day. | Off |
| Send Digest To | Where the digest goes. Separate several addresses with a comma. Required to turn the digest on. | Empty |
- The digest goes to at most 5 addresses. Any more are ignored.
- Addresses that aren't valid are dropped when you save. If none are valid and the digest is on, you'll see "Enter a valid email address to enable the Daily Digest."
- Duplicate addresses are only kept once.
What's in the digest#
The email's subject is Your Discord Daily Digest - your server (date). It covers the previous day in Central time and has two tables.
Community Growth#
| Metric | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Current Members | Your server's member count. |
| Joined | Members who joined during the day. |
| Left | Members who left during the day. |
| Net Change | Joined minus left, for example +4 or -2. |
Engagement#
| Metric | What it shows |
|---|---|
| New Ratings | Ratings left on your community page that day, with the average, for example 3 (avg 4.7/5). |
| New Comments | Comments left on your community page that day. |
| Views (Previous Day) | How many times your community page was viewed that day. |
| Total Views | All views of your community page so far. |
Under the tables, a View Discord Server button opens your community page on Farm Sim Game.
Each Farming Simulator server you've added has its own Daily Digest, with uptime, players online and playtime. Turn it on in the Email Notifications section when you edit the server from Game servers.
Unsubscribe#
Every digest has its own unsubscribe link for the address it was sent to. It stops digests to that one address, for every server it gets digests for. Other addresses on the list keep getting theirs. To stop the digest for everyone, switch off Send Daily Digest Email on the dashboard.
Troubleshooting#
I didn't get a digest#
- Make sure Send Daily Digest Email is on and you clicked Update Email Notifications.
- The digest is sent once a day, after 4:00 AM Central. If today's digest already went out, the next one comes tomorrow morning.
- Check your spam or junk folder, and add the sender to your contacts.
- If you used the unsubscribe link in an earlier digest, that address no longer gets digests.
The save shows "Enter a valid email address to enable the Daily Digest."#
Send Digest To is empty or has no valid address. Check for typos, and use commas between addresses.
Joined and Left are 0 but people joined#
The numbers only count joins and leaves the bot saw while it was in your server. Check the bot is still a member, and see the Dashboard tour for today's joins and leaves.
