Overview
Service Notification emails are sent when you are configured to a Notification List and the service is added to a reservation or a series of recurring reservations.
There are configurable options to reduce these service notifications. Some settings can be applied to all users, while others can be customized for each individual user.
Please note: These settings only apply to service notification lists and do not affect standard calendar invite/update emails.
Service Notification Suppression - Global Settings
The following setting is one that only Account Admins have the ability to configure. It is recommended that if some users want to receive service notifications out further than 14 days for single reservations and 7 days for recurring reservations, you set it to the highest desired amount.
For example, if your users want these notifications all the way up to 30 days, then put 30
in the two text fields. Any users wanting less than 30 days can configure their personal preferences to be any number of days less than 30.

- If a single reservation is scheduled beyond the set number of days (the default is 14 days), no service notifications will be sent.
Example: If today is May 1st, and you set a single occurring reservation for May 16th or any date further into the future, the service notifications will be suppressed.
-
Suppress notifications for recurring meeting occurrences occurring more than a set number of days in the future
- If recurring reservations are scheduled beyond the set number of days (default is 7 days), no service notifications will be sent for those reservations. Only reservations within the specified timeframe will have their service notifications sent.
Example: If today is May 1st, and you set a recurring reservation starting tomorrow (the 2nd) and it's set to repeat weekly for the next 4 weeks, only the service notification for May 2nd will be sent out. The remaining 3 reservations (on the 9th, 16th, and 23rd) will have their notifications suppressed.
