Notifications in the Sparkforge Client Portal

The Sparkforge Client Portal collects every notification — communities, courses, membership events, engagement signals — into a single Notifications tab. Users see one list, get email backups for in-app alerts, and control how each event type is delivered.

How to access notifications

• Click the Bell icon inside the application.
• Notifications from child apps (Courses, Communities) appear in the same list.
• Click any notification to view details or take action.

In-app notifications also generate matching email notifications by default. All notifications sent through the Client Portal — including community messages — are billed as standard email usage.

When a notification links to a Community post, the post can open in a dedicated full-page web view for easier reading.

Notification types

Manage your preferences

Each user controls their own email and push notifications per event type — community updates, course certificates, post likes, comment likes.

1. Open the Client Portal, Communities, or Courses area.
2. Click your profile icon in the upper-right corner.
3. Select Manage Your Account.
4. Choose Notifications from the left menu.
5. Toggle email or push on or off per event type.

Owner-controlled defaults

Portal owners can lock certain notification settings across the entire portal — typically the engagement signals like post and comment likes. When a setting is locked, users see a tooltip explaining the option is managed by an administrator.

Owner-controlled settings include:

• Email notifications for post likes (on/off)
• Email notifications for comment likes (on/off)
