[Update] October 18, 2023
Hello Creators,
We’re excited to announce email notifications for Team Create users that inform you when your access permissions for an experience change. Your collaborators can now immediately see invites to edit in Team Create or to playtest your experience! By adding real-time notifications about changes in your work, we hope to increase transparency in your collaboration and accelerate your development.
Add your email to your Roblox account to start receiving these email notifications. If you already have an email associated with your account, you will be automatically enrolled and can turn off notifications (explained below).
What triggers the email notifications?
As an owner of an experience, you can manage who has access to Team Create by clicking on the blue “Collaborate” button in the top right corner of Studio:
If you are the owner of an experience, email notifications will be sent to your collaborators when you (Updated on October 26, 2023):
-
Add individual collaboratorsAdd/remove friends to the experience and give them Edit or Play access - Give a Group Play access to the experience (the Group members who are your friends will be notified)
Remove collaborators or Groups from the experience- Change the access permission level of a
collaboratorfriend
When giving Play access to users or Groups, only users who are friends with the experience owner granting access will receive email notifications.
If the experience is owned by a Group, these actions will trigger email notifications:
- Change a Group role’s access permission level to a specific experience through the Manage Collaborator dialog in Studio
- Add or remove individual users and give them Play access
Note: This release enables email notifications triggered through collaborator management in Studio only. It doesn’t include notifications for changes made directly to a Group’s Role via the Group page on roblox.com. For example, users won’t be notified if you reassign a member to a different Role in the Group, or if you change a Role’s permission to “Create and edit group experiences.” We plan to enable Group-related notifications in the future.
What does the email notification look like?
The email will let users know who changed their access permissions to an experience. Users will also see a button that will route them directly to the Experience when given access.
- “Open in Studio” button will be displayed if the user is given Edit permissions to an experience
- “Play on Roblox” button will be displayed if the user is given Play permissions
Note: Clicking on Open in Studio currently takes you to the Creator Dashboard, which then redirects you to Studio. We are working on an improvement that will deep-link you directly into Studio when you click on the button in the email.
How can I control what I receive emails for?
If you would like to stop receiving email notifications, you can configure your preferences on Creator Dashboard > Settings > Notifications:
Under Notifications, go to the Experience Permissions and choose whether to receive emails when your Edit or Play permissions have changed on any experiences. You can also click on Manage Preferences in the email to navigate to the same Notification preferences page.
Under Notifications, go to the Experience Permissions and choose whether to receive emails when:
- Someone gives you Edit permissions on an experience
- A friend gives you Play permissions on an experience
You can also click on Manage Preferences in the email to navigate to the same Notification preferences page.
Additionally, you will not receive notifications from users whom you have blocked.
What’s Next?
- Deep-linking directly into Studio from email: Your collaborators with Edit permissions to an experience will be able to click on a button in the email notification to navigate directly to the experience inside Studio.
- Webhooks: We are planning to enable webhook notifications for Team Create permission changes. You’ll be able to integrate these notifications into tools like Discord or Slack.
We also want to hear what other types of real-time notifications are important to you and your collaborators! Please leave your comments and thoughts below.
Many thanks to the wonderful team: @jebyoon @flyingbutter2008 @wingedbreadsticks, @potatoprank, @Kresselia1, @vreddym, @yipiokay, @lovedanihonjin
