Starting with release 7.5.10, you may subscribe to an Astra Schedule calendar to receive email notifications regarding activities on the calendar.  Subscribers can opt to receive messages for new activities that were added, activities that have changed, or both.  In order for an activity to qualify for the subscription notification, it must match the filter requirements for the calendar to which the user subscribed.  Therefore, the subscription option is only available on saved calendars that include predefined filters.  You may subscribe to any calendar to which you have access that meets this criteria.

 

A note about message frequency...

 

Subscription notification email messages are not sent immediately when a triggering activity is identified.  Instead, these activities are collected and processed periodically to help reduce the number of messages received.  The system will send one message that includes all of the qualifying activities each time the subscriptions are processed.  By default, the system will check for activities and send messages once per hour, between the hours of 6 AM and 10 PM.
