Email Notifications - Get notified when your points of interest change status

[arthur]

We just released the Email notifications feature on the MainNet build of the FOAM Map.

To learn how to use it, there is a full article in our help center: https://mapguide.foam.space/adding-and-challenging-pois/getting-notifications/how-do-i-know-when-a-poi-i-own-or-follow-changes-status

You can read the official announcement post here:

FOAM Map: Email notifications – FOAM

This new feature was first showcased during FOAM Community Call — Analyzing the Map, Feb 7th.

You can find it by clicking on the bell at the top of the FOAM Map interface.
Please try it out and tell us if you have any issues/feedback.

Shout out to @foam_cs for doing the early alerts for challenges. Great initiative and an amazing service for many of our early community members.

Alerts for challenges

Community members are requesting an alert system for their points of interest. Do we need an alert system? How should it work? Currently, cartographers have two choices to ensure they do not lose FOAM tokens without the opportunity to defend a challenged point: Visit the FOAM Map at least once every 5 days to see if any of their points have been challenged. Remove verified points from the map (and have their stake returned). The second outcome will weaken the map but is a logical decision fo…

The FOAM Daily Digest will still continue and if you are not already subscribed, you can check it out here.

is there any other way to enable these notifications for accounts that cannot sign via MetaMask?

Interesting, I’ve sent this to the developers to take a further look into but we’re limited in what we can do as this is primarily a Metamask problem, I’ll see if there’s an alternative to enable these notifications for accounts that cannot sign via MetaMask.

[marc0olo]

thanks. that would be great as long this issue isn’t solved!

[marc0olo]

any update on that front?

[Ryan_foam]

Yes, apologies for the delay. If you DM your Metamask address we can manually add you to the email notification database system

[marc0olo]

Hey Ryan, I would like to do so but it seems like DM is not possible in this forum. Is there another possibility to provide you my address? Maybe telegram?

https://ethmail.cc/ could be an interesting project for setting up email notifications, especially once they implement email encryption.
