Managing Notification Overload

- Unsubscribe from marketing if not interested
- Set up email filters to organize Skillspad emails
- Check in-app notifications instead of relying on email
- Turn off notifications for categories you monitor manually
- Use 'Critical Only' mode during vacations or breaks
Unsubscribe from All Emails
- You can unsubscribe from all emails, but this is NOT recommended
- You'll miss important sales and buyer messages
- Critical security alerts will still be sent
- You can still check notifications in your dashboard
- Consider using digests instead of full unsubscribe
