Reminders for inactive ideas
Path: Community Topbar >> Apps Icon >> Community Settings >> General Settings >> Emails & Notifications >> Idea Inactivity Email
The Idea Inactivity email serves as a reminder (or perhaps nag) that is sent to community members if an idea has not had any activity for X number of days.
The community administrator can set up multiple rules to trigger Idea inactivity email based on the number of inactive days, a specific campaign, specific stage, and the recipient group. Along with the email, recipients can also view it on their Notification Dropdown as well.
Note: based on our own inboxes we have instituted a sensible rule: a member can receive no more than one email per month per idea.
