Alerts and updates

Choose channels and email frequency

Set, per category, whether DCAST writes to your inbox, pushes to your device, or only shows a bell alert.

Before you start

  • You are signed in to your DCAST account.
  • You know which kinds of message you actually want to receive.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open the Notifications page and switch to the Preferences tab. The same panel sits in Settings under Notifications.
  2. 2
    You see a table: six categories down the side — Security, Payment, Subscription, Content, Social, System — and three channels across the top.
  3. 3
    The channels are Email, Push and In-App. In-App is the bell inside DCAST; Push is your device; Email is your inbox.
  4. 4
    Read the description next to each category to see what it actually covers before you switch anything off.
  5. 5
    Turn each switch on or off for the combination you want. There is no Save button — a change is stored a moment after you make it.
  6. 6
    Leave Security on in at least one channel. That row carries sign-in attempts and password changes.
  7. 7
    Set Email frequency: Instant sends each message as it happens, Daily Digest and Weekly Digest collect them into one letter.

Expected result

Each category reaches you on the channels you chose, and the panel confirms that your change was saved.

Common problems

I am not sure my change was kept.

The panel says it is saving while it works and confirms when it is done. Reload the page — the switches come back as you left them.

I turned Email off but a letter still arrived.

A letter already sent cannot be recalled, and a digest may still be on its way. Judge the setting by what arrives from now on.

Push notifications never appear.

Push also needs permission from your browser or phone. If you refused it once, allow notifications for this site in the browser settings.
