# Configure automated notices
|
|
|
|
The Zulip sends automated notices via **Notification Bot** to notify users about
|
|
changes in their organization or account. Some types of notices can be
|
|
configured, or disabled altogether.
|
|
|
|
Notices sent to channels are translated into the language that the organization
|
|
has configured as the [language for automated messages and invitation
|
|
emails](/help/configure-organization-language). The topic name is also
|
|
translated. Notices sent directly to users will use [their preferred
|
|
language](/help/change-your-language).
|
|
|
|
## Notices about channels
|
|
|
|
Notices about channel settings changes, such as [name](/help/rename-a-channel),
|
|
[description](/help/change-the-channel-description),
|
|
[permission](/help/channel-permissions) and
|
|
[policy](/help/channel-posting-policy) updates are sent to the
|
|
“channel events” topic in the channel that was modified.
|
|
|
|
### New channel announcements
|
|
|
|
{!admin-only.md!}
|
|
|
|
When creating a new [public channel](/help/channel-permissions), the
|
|
channel creator can choose to advertise the new channel via an automated
|
|
notice. You can configure what channel Zulip uses for these notices, or
|
|
disable these notices entirely. The topic for these messages is “new
|
|
channels”.
|
|
|
|
New [private](/help/channel-permissions) channels are never announced.
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|organization-settings}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Automated messages and emails**, configure **New channel
|
|
announcements**.
|
|
|
|
{!save-changes.md!}
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
## Notices about topics
|
|
|
|
A notice is sent when a topic is [resolved or
|
|
unresolved](/help/resolve-a-topic). These notices will be marked as unread only
|
|
for users who had participated in the topic.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, when moving messages to another
|
|
[channel](/help/move-content-to-another-channel) or
|
|
[topic](/help/move-content-to-another-topic), users can decide whether to send
|
|
automated notices to help others understand how content was moved.
|
|
|
|
## Notices about users
|
|
|
|
You will be notified if someone [subscribes you to a
|
|
channel](/help/add-or-remove-users-from-a-channel#add-users-to-a-channel), or
|
|
changes your [group](/help/user-groups) membership.
|
|
|
|
### New user announcements
|
|
|
|
{!admin-only.md!}
|
|
|
|
You can configure where **Notification Bot** will post an announcement when new
|
|
users join your organization, or disable new user announcement messages
|
|
entirely. The topic for these messages is “signups”.
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|organization-settings}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Automated messages and emails**, configure **New user
|
|
announcements**.
|
|
|
|
{!save-changes.md!}
|
|
|
|

|
## Zulip update announcements
|
|
|
|
Zulip announces new features and other important product changes via automated
|
|
messages. This is designed to help users discover new features they may find
|
|
useful, including new configuration options.
|
|
|
|
These announcements are posted to the “Zulip updates” topic in the
|
|
channel selected by organization administrators (usually 1-2x a month
|
|
on Zulip Cloud). You can read update messages whenever it's
|
|
convenient, or [mute](/help/mute-a-topic) the topic if you are not
|
|
interested. If you organization does not want to receive these
|
|
announcements, they can be disabled.
|
|
|
|
On self-hosted Zulip servers, announcement messages are shipped with the Zulip
|
|
server version that includes the new feature or product change. You may thus
|
|
receive several announcement messages when your server is upgraded.
|
|
|
|
Unlike other notices, Zulip update announcements are not translated.
|
|
