Manage changelog subscribers

How to get there: Open any changelog board → click the people icon next to the subscriber count in the header (admin-only).

End users can subscribe to a changelog board to receive an email whenever a new entry is published. Admins can browse, search, and export the subscriber list.

How users subscribe

On every changelog board, users see a "Subscribe" link next to the RSS link in the header. Clicking it (when logged in) adds them to the subscriber list. Clicking again unsubscribes them. They can also unsubscribe from any changelog email via the footer link.

The subscriber count is shown to admins next to the subscribe link, for example "12".

Viewing the subscriber list

  1. Open the changelog board.
  2. Click the people icon with the subscriber count.
  3. A modal opens listing every subscriber with name, email, and the date they subscribed.

Use the search box to filter by name or email. The list is paginated, use Prev and Next to move through pages.

Exporting subscribers

Click Export CSV in the subscriber modal to download the full list. The CSV contains:

  • Name
  • Email
  • Subscribed At (timestamp)

The export ignores the current search and pagination, you always get every subscriber for that board. The file is UTF-8 with a BOM so Excel opens it correctly.

When subscribers get emailed

A subscriber receives an email when:

  • A post on the changelog board is published (either immediately or via Scheduled Publishing).
  • The post was not imported (imports do not trigger notifications).
  • The post has a status that belongs to this changelog board.
  • The subscriber has not unsubscribed from emails entirely.

Marking a post internal or unpublishing it does not retroactively email anyone.

Per-board subscriptions

Each changelog board has its own subscriber list. A user who wants updates from two changelog boards must subscribe to both. There is no portal-wide "all changelogs" subscription.
