Configure automated notices
The Meoyo sends automated notices via Notification Bot to notify users about changes in their organization or account. Some types of notices can be configured, or disabled altogether.
Notices sent to channels are translated into the language that the organization has configured as the language for automated messages and invitation emails. The topic name is also translated. Notices sent directly to users will use their preferred language.
Notices about channels
Section titled “Notices about channels”New channel announcements
Section titled “New channel announcements”When creating a new public or web-public channel, the channel creator can choose to advertise the new channel via an automated notice. You can configure what channel Meoyo uses for these notices, or disable these notices entirely. The topic for these messages is “new channels”.
New private channels are never announced.
- Go to Organization settings.
- Under Automated messages and emails, configure New channel announcements.

Channel events
Section titled “Channel events”You can configure whether Meoyo will send an automated message when a channel’s settings are updated.

Messages will be sent to the “channel events” topic in the modified channel.
- Go to Organization settings.
- Under Automated messages and emails, configure Send automated messages for channel events.

Notices about topics
Section titled “Notices about topics”A notice is sent when a topic is resolved or unresolved. Users can configure whether these notices are automatically marked as read.
Additionally, when moving messages to another channel or topic, users can decide whether to send automated notices to help others understand how content was moved.
Notices about users
Section titled “Notices about users”You will be notified if someone subscribes you to a channel, or changes your group membership.
New user announcements
Section titled “New user announcements”You can configure where Notification Bot will post an announcement when new users join your organization, or disable new user announcement messages entirely. The topic for these messages is “signups”.
- Go to Organization settings.
- Under Automated messages and emails, configure New user announcements.
- Click Save changes.
Notices about changes to user profile
Section titled “Notices about changes to user profile”When an administrator modifies your account settings, you will receive a private message from Notification Bot listing the changes that were made. This includes updates to your full name, role, and custom profiles fields.
The notification will show both the old and new values for each field that was changed, making it easy to see exactly what was modified. Only administrators can change other users’ profiles, and these notifications ensure that users are always informed when such changes occur.
Meoyo update announcements
Section titled “Meoyo update announcements”Meoyo announces new features and other important product changes via automated messages. This is designed to help users discover new features they may find useful, including new configuration options.
These announcements are posted to the “Meoyo updates” topic in the channel selected by organization administrators (usually 1-2x a month on Meoyo Cloud). You can read update messages whenever it’s convenient, or mute the topic if you are not interested. If you organization does not want to receive these announcements, they can be disabled.
On self-hosted Meoyo servers, announcement messages are shipped with the Meoyo server version that includes the new feature or product change. You may thus receive several announcement messages when your server is upgraded.
Unlike other notices, Meoyo update announcements are not translated.
