Based on activity you take, you will receive notifications alerting you to specific actions, upcoming items you need to take action on, and the actions of others. These notifications can be managed on your account to determine which notifications you receive and which delivery method you receive them on such as email, SMS, or in-app.

When you receive certain email notifications, you can reply to that email from your inbox and your reply will be sent as a message in the conversation which is tied to that notification. No need to leave your inbox!

You can also attach files to your reply to have those files be added to the message in the original conversation as well.

When you sign up, you will be prompted to add a phone number and enable SMS notifications to stay up-to-date on your projects/experiences. SMS notifications offer the convenience of receiving real-time updates and important alerts directly on your mobile device, ensuring you never miss crucial information.

You can easily manage phone numbers associated with your user account. This includes adding a new phone number or changing the primary phone number. Only verified primary phone numbers will receive notification text messages, and only if you have opted-in to SMS notifications.

For educators and employers, depending on actions you take, you may be sent a digest email containing recommendations for possible possible future projects and experiences to match with.

Most notifications you receive can be toggled on or off on a per notification type and per delivery method basis. This can also be done in bulk by disabling all notifications based on a particular delivery method such as email.

Any digests you receive can be toggled on or off as well and can have their frequency changed between daily, weekly, or monthly.

Riipen currently offers two primary channels for receiving notifications: email and SMS (text messaging). All notification types can be received via email, but only some can be received via SMS. Where the delivery method choice is available, you can choose one or both of the available methods.
