The bell in your dashboard header collects the few things that need a decision from you. Email is reserved for what can't wait for your next visit.
The bell
- Dashboard
- Notifications
Tap the bell and you'll see one of these, or You're all caught up.:
- People at the door, one row per event, when you let each person in: newcomers who confirmed an email and are waiting for you. Each row opens that event's Guests at At the door, and the badge counts every person. See who can see your event.
- Guests are waiting for your approval. Uploads are sitting in Review on an event where you review before things appear. See review uploads before they appear.
- You're over your storage limit. Your account is above its plan's storage, usually after a plan change. See storage, plans, and limits.
- Your Event Pass is expiring. Your pass ends within two weeks; renew to keep the extra storage. See Pro vs. Event Pass.
- Items in Deleted are about to be cleared. Something you deleted reaches the end of its recovery window within a week. Restore it or let it go. See how long your media is kept.
These aren't messages you dismiss. Each one stays until the situation resolves (you let them in, approve the uploads, free the space, renew, restore) and then disappears on its own. The badge count also includes any announcement from Partyreel, which clears once you've opened the panel.
The emails you might get
Every email Partyreel sends to a host is about your own account or events:
- Your Partyreel storage is over the limit, then a reminder a week before the deadline, then We reduced your Partyreel storage to fit your plan if nothing changed. The full timeline is in what happens when storage fills up.
- Your Partyreel Event Pass expires soon, two weeks out. Its button opens the renewal checkout, and it's the one of these you can turn off (below).
- Your Partyreel event will be removed soon and Your Partyreel event was removed (recoverable for now), which only free-plan events can receive, after about 24 months without any activity on the account.
- Sign-in codes and links, whenever you ask for one.
Each of those is sent once per situation, not on a schedule. Things you delete yourself are never emailed about; the bell covers them.
What your guests get from us
The only email a guest receives is a sign-in code they asked for: no "the album is ready" blast, no reminders, no newsletter. Sharing the album is yours to do; see share the album after the event.
Turning emails off
- Account
- Email preferences
Your account settings have a switch for each kind of email that's a choice: Event Pass reminders for the expiring-pass email (its footer links straight to the switch), and Product news and occasional tips. Turn product news off and your address also comes off our newsletter list, straight away.
The rest have no switch, and that's deliberate: sign-in codes, billing notices, storage warnings, and the heads-up before anything is removed are the account-critical kind. Turning those off would mean losing your media without being told first. They stop when your account does; see your data and deleting your account.
If one of them is reaching you in error, send us a note and we'll sort it out.
