Which Selflane emails can I turn off?
Selflane sends a handful of automated emails — nightly summaries, attendance notices, product news. Most of them can be switched off. This page shows where the settings live, which emails they cover, and which emails always arrive no matter what.
Where the settings live
Use Notification settings to turn an optional email on or off for everyone at one business. In the Back Office, open Settings → Profile → Notifications.
Open the account menu and select My Account to change emails for yourself. This setting follows your email address across every business where you have access.
The two settings work together:
- Business notification — turns an email on or off for everyone at one business. Owners and corporate admins can change it.
- Personal preference — turns an email on or off for your email address across every business where you have access.
Your personal preference applies to every business on your email address. If you own three restaurants and turn off Auto Clock-Out Notices, you stop getting that email for all three. To quiet one restaurant only, change its business notification.
Both settings default to on. An email reaches you only if the business notification allows it and your personal preference is on.
What you can turn off
| What it is | |
|---|---|
| Auto Clock-Out Notices | Staff left clocked in overnight and the system closed the punchcard. |
| Long Shift Notices | A punchcard recorded an unusually long shift, worth checking before payroll. |
| Daily Ops Summary | Yesterday’s numbers. |
| Weekly Sales Summary | The week’s numbers. |
| Selflane News & Announcements | Product and company news. |
These are the optional emails today. The list grows as new automated emails ship. Anything with a live toggle can be switched off.
Turning off the email does not turn off auto clock-out
Switching off Auto Clock-Out Notices stops the email, not the feature. The system still closes punchcards that staff left open, and those records still need reviewing in the Back Office before you run payroll. The email was the reminder, not the mechanism.
If you turn the notice off, put the review somewhere else in your routine — check the Day tab for the affected date, or scan punchcards as part of your payroll close. Set the cutoff itself under Auto Clockout Time in Team Management.
What you can’t turn off
These emails always send:
- Invoices, refunds, disputes, and payment failures — money moved, or failed to move, and the email is the record.
- DNS instructions — the setup steps for your own domain.
- Service notices — outages, incidents, and breaking changes you need to act on.
Each of these carries information that exists nowhere else, or that costs you money to miss. There is no toggle for them, so you don’t need to go looking for one.
The unsubscribe link in the email
Optional emails carry an unsubscribe link in the footer. It opts your address out of that one type of email, across every business on that address — one person who owns several businesses receives a single copy, so the link works the same way as your personal preference.
To quiet one business, use Notification settings. To change your own preference across every business, open My Account from the account menu.
