We’re pleased to announce some updates to our community platform that will help you manage the notifications you receive from the Meraki Community.
- Category subscriptions — Subscribe to many boards at once!
- Updates to notification settings — More options for managing the notifications you receive
Category subscriptions
Previously, you could subscribe to email notifications one board at a time (e.g. Switching, Security / SD-WAN, etc). Now you can subscribe to an entire category (e.g. Product & Technology Discussions), and easily select the boards you’re interested in.
Create a category subscription
To subscribe for email updates for an entire category, go to the category page (Product & Technology Discussions or About the Community are two examples of categories). Then, select Options > Subscribe:
A dialog will appear, in which you can select the specific boards that you wish to subscribe to:
Select your favorite boards and click Save.
Edit a category subscription
You can edit your category subscription from the category itself, or from your notification settings page.
To edit from the category page, simply select Options > Edit Subscription:
To edit from your notification settings, go to your name in the upper-right corner of the page to open the drop-down menu, and then select My Subscriptions. You’ll see a list of all of your subscriptions, including category subscriptions. Click the pencil icon to edit your selected boards or unsubscribe.
Updates to notification settings
There are now a few new notification settings to give you more control over which email and real-time notifications you receive.
New notification settings include:
- Turn off all email notifications: When selected, no email notifications are sent to you. Notifications still appear in the Notification Feed.
- Turn off all real-time pop-up notifications: When selected, no real-time pop-up messages (those little messages that appear on the bottom-right of the community) are sent to you. Notifications still appear in the Notification Feed.
- Turn off all mobile notifications: This setting is not relevant to the Meraki Community, as we have not built any custom mobile apps or integrations (maybe someday!).
To set your notification options:
- Sign in to the community.
- Click your name in the upper-right of the screen to open the drop-down menu
- Click My subscriptions:
- Navigate to the Notification Settings tab. Here you will see the new options:

We hope you find these new options useful in managing the emails & pop-up notifications you receive from the Meraki Community.
