Notification settings

How to configure email notification preferences for councillors.

Procedure Clerk

How notification preferences work

Notification preferences are set per councillor - there is no single council-wide notification setting. Each councillor can have their own preference for how they receive agenda notifications.

Where to change a councillor's preference

Go to People in the left-hand menu, open the councillor's profile, and click Edit Councillor. The Agenda Notification Preference field is at the bottom of the form.

The four options are:

Option What it means
No Notification The councillor never receives notification emails
Notification by Email An email with links to the agenda
Attached to an Email An email with the agenda PDF attached
Printed The councillor requires a physical printed copy

See Councillor email and notification options for a full explanation of each option and how the notification email works.

Changing preferences for multiple councillors

There is no bulk-update option - preferences must be changed one councillor at a time via their individual profile page.

Built by a councillor, for council clerks

Save hours of paperwork per meeting

Write agendas and minutes once and publish them straight to your council's website. Councillors get them in the Councillor App. No re-typing, no uploading files one by one. See the features

Records you can stand behind

Agendas and minutes are version-tracked and searchable, with public and confidential versions kept apart. That helps you stay audit-ready, though the council remains responsible for its own compliance. Overview for clerks

Open, accessible council papers

Every agenda and set of minutes has an on-screen version designed to meet WCAG 2.2 AA — the standard the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 require. Your council's data is stored in the UK. Accessibility statement

Councillors get agendas, papers and past minutes in one secure app, not a pile of email attachments. Overview for councillors
