How to Manage Notification Preferences

Control which email and push notifications you receive from Rostered. Both are managed from the same screen: each notification type has its own email toggle and push toggle, side by side, so you can turn either one on or off independently. For details specific to push delivery (like enabling push notifications on your device), see How to Manage Push Notifications.

Accessing Notification Settings​

  1. Open the Rostered app.
  2. Go to the Settings tab (usually found in the bottom navigation or menu).
  3. Tap on Notifications.

Understanding Notification Types​

Rostered sends email notifications for many different types of events and updates. The available notification categories include:

  • Schedule Changes: When practices, games, or events are added, changed, or cancelled. A cancellation arrives as "status updated" rather than naming the cancellation, so open the event to see what happened
  • New Events: When new events are added to the calendar
  • Team Messages: Push notifications from coaches to your athlete's team
  • Division Messages: Announcements to your athlete's age group
  • Club-wide Messages: Important updates from club administrators
  • RSVP Requests: When you need to respond to event attendance
  • RSVP Reminders: Follow-up reminders for unanswered RSVPs
  • Weekly Schedule Digest: A weekly summary of the upcoming schedule
  • Event Reminders: Alerts before events start
  • Poll Notifications: When coaches create polls for your input
  • Huddle Messages: New messages in team and division chat channels

Configuring Notifications​

Notification types are grouped into categories. Each type has two toggles side by side, one for email and one for push:

  1. Find the notification type in the list.
  2. Toggle the Email column to enable or disable email notifications for that type.
  3. Toggle the Push column to enable or disable push notifications for that type.
  4. When enabled, you will receive that type of notification through that channel. When disabled, you will not.

Your changes are saved automatically as you make them.

For detailed setup of push delivery itself (device permissions, per-club settings), see How to Manage Push Notifications.

In-App Notifications​

Rostered also shows a notification badge and an attention list within the app itself, separate from email and push. It surfaces things that need your attention, like an unanswered RSVP or a poll waiting for your response, and clears an item once you have dealt with it.

Resetting to Default Settings​

If you want to restore all notification preferences to their default values:

  1. Scroll to the bottom of the Notification Preferences screen.
  2. Find the Reset All Preferences section.
  3. Tap the Reset to Defaults button.
  4. Confirm that you want to reset.

This will enable all notification types with their default settings.

Important Notifications You Cannot Disable​

For your security and account management, some notifications will always be sent regardless of your preferences:

  • Password reset emails
  • Security alerts (like new device logins)
  • Account verification emails
  • Critical system announcements

These ensure you always have access to your account and are aware of important security events.

Tips for Managing Notifications​

  • Start with defaults: The default settings are designed to keep you informed of the most important updates.
  • Adjust over time: If you find you are getting too many emails, selectively disable the types that are less relevant to you.
  • Check spam folder: If you are not receiving expected emails, check your spam or junk folder and mark Rostered emails as "not spam".
  • Keep RSVPs enabled: RSVP reminders help ensure you do not miss important deadlines.

Notification Timing​

  • Schedule change notifications are sent when coaches make updates
  • RSVP reminders are sent as deadlines approach
  • Team messages are delivered as soon as coaches send them

For time-sensitive notifications, make sure push notifications are enabled.
