Give River can send you emails to keep you updated on your activity and account. The Email Preferences screen lets you choose exactly which emails you want to receive, with a separate toggle for each type.

Available Email Preferences
| Preference | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Weekly Recap | A summary email sent once a week showing your recognition activity, drops earned, and highlights |
| New Drop Alerts | An email sent when you receive a new drop (recognition) from a colleague |
| Drop Expiry Reminders | A reminder email when your available drops are about to expire |
| Help and Feature Updates | Emails about new Give River features, tips, and product updates |
Each preference is independent — you can enable or disable any combination.
How to Access Email Preferences
- Go to Settings.
- Scroll to the App section.
- Tap Email Preferences.
- The Email Preferences screen opens, loading your current settings automatically.
Changing a Preference
- On the Email Preferences screen, find the preference you want to change.
- Tap the toggle switch next to it.
- Toggle on (blue) means emails of that type will be sent to you.
- Toggle off (grey) means you will not receive emails of that type.
- Your preference saves immediately and a confirmation message appears.
Tips
- Changes take effect immediately — there is no Save button. Each toggle triggers an instant update.
- If you change a preference and then change it back, both changes are saved individually.
- Email preferences only control emails from Give River. They do not affect push notifications, which are managed separately under Settings > Notification. See the Notifications article for push notification controls.
- If you are not receiving expected emails, check your spam or junk folder and ensure the preference is toggled on.
