Notifications is where you control which emails AquaOps sends you, on top of what’s already visible in-app.

​
Purpose

Use this page to turn on or off the two email notification types AquaOps currently supports: an email whenever a new chemical alert is created, and an optional periodic compliance digest email. Nothing here changes what shows up in-app — the Alerts list and the Compliance module always reflect current state regardless of your email preferences. This page only controls whether AquaOps also emails you about it.

​
Who this applies to

These are personal, per-user preferences, not organization-wide settings. Each user sets their own values, and they only affect email sent to that user — there’s no admin control that overrides them for other people. Anyone can open this page; it isn’t gated behind a permission the way most other Settings pages are. That said, actually receiving a compliance digest also depends on your permissions (see Compliance digest below) — turning the setting on doesn’t guarantee delivery if you don’t hold the right access.

​
Where to find it

Go to:
Notifications lives in the Account group of the Settings sidebar, alongside Kiosk PIN, Security, and Help — it’s account-level, not organization-level configuration.

​
Chemical alerts

The Chemical alerts card has a single checkbox: Email me for chemical alerts. It’s on by default for every user. When enabled, AquaOps emails you whenever a new chemical alert is created for a location you can see — one email per chemical record’s worth of new breaches, summarizing every field that broke on that test. This is the same email_alerts_enabled preference and the same delivery behavior documented in Alerts: recipients are exactly the users who could already see the alert in-app (active users with chemical_records:view or org:manage, scoped to location), and email delivery is best-effort — if it fails or is skipped, the alert still appears in the in-app list regardless. Turning this off doesn’t hide anything from the Alerts list; it only stops the email.

​
Compliance digest

The Compliance digest card lets you choose how often you get a rollup email of compliance activity: Off, Daily, or Weekly. It’s off by default — this is opt-in, unlike chemical alert emails.

​
What it contains

Each digest summarizes, for the locations you have access to:
  • closure incidents opened in the period
  • closure incidents resolved in the period
  • closure incidents still open
  • corrective actions overdue
  • pool/days missing a required test
The email is a simple text summary of those five counts with a link back into AquaOps — it doesn’t list individual incidents. AquaOps only sends the digest when there’s actually something to report — a fully quiet period produces no email at all, so an empty inbox on a given day doesn’t mean the check didn’t run.

​
Frequency behavior

A daily cron job evaluates every subscribed user once a day:
  • Daily subscribers are eligible every run and get a digest covering the preceding 1 day.
  • Weekly subscribers are only eligible on Mondays and get a digest covering the preceding 7 days — not a running daily drip, one email a week.

​
Who actually receives it

Setting a frequency here isn’t enough on its own. The digest mirrors the same visibility rules as the in-app Compliance pages: you only receive it if you also hold compliance:view, compliance:manage, or org:manage. If you don’t hold one of those, you can still set a frequency here, but no email will actually go out. Content is scoped the same way the in-app pages scope it — org:manage holders get an organization-wide summary; everyone else’s summary is limited to the locations their role gives them access to. A user with a non-org:manage role and no location access at all is skipped entirely, even with a frequency selected. Like chemical alert emails, digest delivery is best-effort — if outbound email isn’t configured, no digests go out, silently, rather than the feature erroring.

​
Best practices

  • leave chemical alert emails on if you’re responsible for a location — it’s the fastest way to notice a new breach without keeping the Alerts list open
  • turn on the compliance digest (daily or weekly) if you’re accountable for closure incidents, corrective actions, or testing cadence but don’t check the Compliance module every day
  • choose Weekly over Daily for the compliance digest if you only want a periodic gut-check rather than a running drip — remember weekly digests only go out on Mondays
  • if you enable the compliance digest and never receive one, confirm you actually hold compliance:view, compliance:manage, or org:manage and have location access — the setting won’t error, it just won’t produce mail without that
  • don’t rely on the digest for anything time-sensitive; use the live Compliance module and Alerts list for that, and treat the digest as a periodic summary only
