How to receive all ParentSquare messages at one set time

Are you getting multiple messages on ParentSquare and want to have them delivered at one set time? There’s a way to switch from receiving instant ParentSquare posts in real time to “digest,” which packages all non-urgent messages in one email that is sent at 6 p.m. each day. With the digest setting, you won’t miss anything important and you won’t receive messages throughout the day.

To switch from “instant” to “digest” on a computer, click “my account” from the upper-right corner dropdown and click on “notification settings.” From there, you can choose instant or digest. Please see screenshots below. If you’re using the app, click on the three bars on the upper left, and select “notifications.” NOTE: If a message is timely, post senders can override the digest option to send instantly.
