How do I get notified when people join my club?
Updated
If you manage a club, coaching or organiser page on Windline, you get a notification when someone joins it and when someone says they’re riding one of its rides. Join requests reach every manager by notification and email, with a reminder after two days. Several close together arrive as one. Turn the join and riding notifications off under Members, with Tell me when people join or say they’re in.
What you’ll hear
Every manager of a club, coaching or organiser page hears it as the page grows, on the Windline app on their phone:
| Notification | When |
|---|---|
| “Thandi joined Krugersdorp Road Runners” · 24 members | Someone joins your page, or another manager approves their request. On a coaching page it reads “Thandi joined your group”. |
| “Thandi asked to join Krugersdorp Road Runners” | Someone asks to join a page set to Approval. Tap it to approve or decline. |
| “Thandi is in for Sunday long run” · 6 going · Sun 25 Oct 06:00 | Someone taps I’m riding on one of your page’s rides. Tap it to see who’s riding. |
You don’t hear about your own taps, or when someone says they can’t make it. Someone who ticks Every week is announced once, not every week.
Several at once
The first one arrives straight away. If more come in the next 10 minutes, they arrive together as one notification when the 10 minutes are up, for example “4 more joined Krugersdorp Road Runners” · Sipho, Lerato and 2 others · 28 members. Your page’s notifications stack together on your phone.
Join requests by email too
When someone asks to join, every manager also gets an email: “Thandi asked to join Krugersdorp Road Runners. Approve or decline:”, with a button that opens your members list. If several people ask within an hour, the rest of that hour come in one email.
If a request is still waiting two days later, every manager gets one reminder email. Requests you’ve already approved or declined are left out.
Join requests always reach every manager, by notification and email, so nobody is left waiting. To stop them, set Who can join to Open: people then join straight away, no approval needed.
Turn them off
On the web dashboard, open your page and go to Members. Untick Tell me when people join or say they’re in. It’s just for you and just for that page: the other managers keep theirs.
