Chatter Email Digests

Personal digests include the updates that you see in your own Chatter feed. In a personal digest, you see updates about the groups that you belong to and the people, records, and files that you follow. Group digests include updates from groups’ Chatter feeds.

Daily digests include up to 50 of the latest posts from the previous day. Weekly digests include up to 50 of the latest posts from the week. All posts in each digest show their three latest comments. Chatter sends daily digests at approximately midnight every day, and weekly digests at approximately midnight on Sunday. For user digests, the time is according to the user’s time zone. For group digests, the time is according to the organization’s time zone. Neither time is configurable.

When you become a member of a group, you don’t receive email notifications initially because they’re turned off by default. You can use Set default frequency for groups I join:, in your personal Chatter Email Notifications settings, to choose how often to receive emails from new groups. Changing the default frequency doesn’t affect the groups you already belong to.

If your organization existed before Summer ’11 and is a Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited, or Developer Edition organization, you may still receive daily digests by default.
