Sign up to receive email notifications whenever a POI you own or follow changes status. There are 4 types of notifications you will receive:

  • Your POI passes the initial pending period

  • Your POI is challenged

  • The Vote Reveal Period begins after a challenge you voted in

  • The Challenge Period concludes for a POI you own, challenged, or voted on

To sign up to receive email notifications:

  1. Go to the map view at http://map.foam.space and make sure you’re signed into your MetaMask wallet.

  2. Click the bell icon in the center at the top of the screen to open the email notifications card.

  3. The first time you open the email notifications card you will need to authenticate yourself as the owner of your Ethereum address. MetaMask is used to do this.

  4. You will receive a MetaMask prompt to sign a random string. Don’t worry! This is not a transaction and no tokens will leave your wallet.

  5. Click to submit the form.

  6. The authentication will be stored in your browser cache and you will be automatically logged in on future visits. If you try to access the email notifications card from a new browser or if your cache is cleared, you will need to authenticate the MetaMask prompt with the same Ethereum address to log in.  

  7. Once the card is open, tick the box to indicate “I would like to receive email notifications regarding my POIs, challenges, and votes”.

  8. Tick the box to agree to the Foamspace privacy policy. You can follow the link to read more about how your data will be collected and used.

  9. Enter your email address in the space provided.

  10. Click the button to sign up for updates.

  11. That’s it! You will now receive email notifications whenever a POI you own or follow changes status. 

There are 2 ways to unsubscribe from email notifications:

From the homepage

  1. Go to the map view at http://map.foam.space and make sure you’re signed into your MetaMask wallet.

  2. Click the bell icon in the center at the top of the screen to open the email notifications card.

  3. If you’re on a new browser or your cache has been cleared, authenticate the MetaMask prompt to log in. Don’t worry! This is not a transaction and no tokens will leave your wallet.

  4. Once on the card, untick the box to indicate you would no longer like to receive email notifications.

  5. Click the button at the bottom to unsubscribe. 

From an email notification in your inbox

  1. Click the link at the bottom of the email notification. This will take you to the email notifications card on http://map.foam.space. Make sure you’re signed into your MetaMask wallet.

  2. You need to use a browser compatible with the MetaMask extension. It won’t work on mobile.

  3. If you’re on a new browser or your cache has been cleared, authenticate the MetaMask prompt to log in. Don’t worry! This is not a transaction and no tokens will leave your wallet.

  4. Once on the card, untick the box to indicate you would no longer like to receive email notifications.

  5. Click the button at the bottom to unsubscribe.
