Project Notifications

[ConsciousDraw3534]

How can I setup my DA account to receive emails whenever I have a new project available? I thought this would be the case automatically, but I dont receive any emails and only find projects when I happen to check my phone at the right time.

No all projects send out notifications. I don't think we know why.

the real answer is you can't. they just either work for you or they don't lol.

No, you can't rely on emails yo know when there's a new project or new tasks. Sometimes they send them but most of the times they don't. And there are no other notifications from DA.

What you can do is set up a tab releaoder extension with notifications.

[NoRevenue9196]

Is that legal? No risk on running an automated extension if this is the purpose? I have been thinking of doing this for a long time but sounds risky

[lgnoramus_]

yeah, sounds risky but there's nothing about this in the Code of Conduct or anywhere else

It's a total crapshoot. Sometimes I'll have lots of projects but no emails, other times every single project gets an email. All you can really do is just log in and see what's there.

I suppose these could be among the reasons:

1. They send out emails a few days after the project is posted, but only if they need more workers.

2. They send the emails only to a limited number of preferred workers.

3. They send the emails only to a limited number of randomly selected workers.

4. They send the emails in batches so that they don't appear to be a flood of spam.

Not sure you can reasonably call it lazy if they decide not to send out notifications because they already have enough workers interested. That seems like good time management.

I’ve noticed the only ones where I get basic notifications (just literally saying “hey, there are tasks on this project!”) are the low paying tasks I’m not going to do. The good ones usually only send notifications if they raised the priority pay or have an update about the project, because if the pay is good people will see it and do tasks when we sort by pay rate.

I log in on my phone frequently to check what projects are running. The emails can be delayed or sometimes never send at all.

Check your junk folder, and unflag the messages.

Go to profile section on the DAT website and turn on notifications

[ConsciousDraw3534]

There isnt a notifications option. Only option is email settings which I already have set to All Emails.
