Email notifications

Information on how email notifications work in Whitehall publisher.

Email notifications appear on:

• consultations

• detailed guides

• document collections

• organisation pages

• publication pages

• topic taxonomy pages

• specialist topic pages

• worldwide pages

They are added automatically to any new content items.

Users who have subscribed to an email notification will be sent an email alert when a major change is made or a content item is unpublished. If you redirect the page, the email will also tell users where the page was redirected to.‌

Users are not sent email alerts for minor content changes or if a content item is withdrawn or put into history mode.

Users can choose how often they want to receive email alerts - ‘immediately’, ‘daily’ or ‘weekly’.
