Your marketplace is set up to send different types of automatic emails for different activities. This article explains what these are.
Automatic emails sent
Your marketplace sends several automatic email messages to your users for different actions they perform.
The automatic emails that are sent out to users are:
When another user sends them a message
When another user comments on their listing
When another user starts a transaction for one of their listings
When another user accepts their offer or request
When another user rejects their offer or request
When another user gives them feedback
When they have forgotten to mark an order as completed (that email is sent two days before automatic order completion)
When they can give feedback after a transaction
When another user marks their order with the user as completed
When they receive a new payment
When a listing public discussion they follow has a new comment
When a listing they have commented on has been updated
When they have posted a listing but have not added their payment details (if online payments are enabled)
How to change notification settings as a user
Each user can change how often they receive the newsletter and which notification emails they receive. These can be changed under “Notifications” in the user’s profile settings. Note that marketplace admins are also users on the marketplace, and the notification system works similarly for admins and non-admins.
Each user can choose to receive or not receive the following emails:
When another user sends them a message
When another user comments on their listing
When another user starts a transaction for one of their listings

When another user gives them feedback
When they have forgotten to mark an order as completed (that email is sent two days before automatic order completion)
When they can give feedback after a transaction
When another user marks their order with the user as completed
When they receive a new payment
When a listing public discussion they follow has a new comment
