Email preferences

Open Profile from your dashboard — it's in the sidebar under Settings, or in the avatar menu at the top corner. Four cards cover the main areas: Account information (display name and username), Email settings (address with verified/unverified badge, account-level opt-ins, and a link to per-organizer preferences), Timezone, and Change password plus a Danger Zone for account deletion.

The two kinds of email control

PickleFriend separates product emails (from PickleFriend itself) from organizer emails (from the people running your groups), and you control them in different places.

Setting	Lives where	Covers
Technical announcements	Profile → Email settings	Security updates, maintenance, critical changes
Feature updates & tips	Profile → Email settings	New features and occasional tips from PickleFriend
Organizer email preferences	A separate Manage page	Per-group invitations and announcements

Both account-level opt-ins are checkboxes. Tick or untick one and it saves on the spot — no separate Save button.

Per-organizer preferences

Each group you belong to gets its own row on the per-organizer page. From Email settings, press Manage to open it. For every group you can toggle:

• Event Invitations — invites, cancellations, RSVP changes, partnership updates, waitlist notifications, and game-day reminders.
• Announcements — general organizer announcements and other communications.

Untick a category to stop those emails from that one group, then save.

Turning everything off

Universal Unsubscribe at the bottom of the per-organizer page is a hard off switch for all organizer emails — including groups you're added to in the future. Re-enable from the same page whenever you like. The unsubscribe link in any organizer email footer also lets you opt out of that single group without logging in.

The three unsubscribe paths

Path	What it stops	How to reach it
Per-group footer link	All emails from that one organizer group	The unsubscribe link in any event invitation or announcement email
Universal Unsubscribe (product)	All product and broadcast emails from PickleFriend	The unsubscribe link in any PickleFriend-sent email (feature updates, engagement emails)
Partner-digest one-click disable	Partner-selection summary emails only	The separate opt-out link in any partner digest email footer

Per-group footer link

Every event invitation and announcement includes an unsubscribe link. Opening it takes you to a page scoped to that group — toggle individual email categories or stop everything from that group — with no login required. Other groups you belong to are unaffected.

For the full walkthrough, see Managing your emails.

Product and broadcast email unsubscribe

Emails sent by PickleFriend directly — such as the engagement/sharing email — include an unsubscribe link that sets a universal opt-out on your user account, stopping all PickleFriend-originated broadcast emails. It does not stop organizer event emails (those use the per-group path above).

The Feature updates & tips checkbox in your profile toggles the same opt-in before you ever receive those emails.

Partner-digest one-click disable

When an organizer has partner requests enabled, you may receive a summary email listing who selected you as a partner for upcoming events. That email has its own opt-out link in the footer — clicking it disables only the partner digest for your player record. Event invitations and announcements from that group continue unchanged.

The two account opt-in checkboxes

Under Profile → Email settings, two checkboxes control what PickleFriend sends you directly:

Checkbox	What it covers
Technical announcements	Security updates, maintenance notices, and critical account changes
Feature updates & tips	New feature announcements, tips, and occasional updates — including the one-time engagement email sent after your first couple of weeks

Both save immediately; no separate Save button. Neither is pre-checked at sign-up — both are opt-in. The engagement email is sent once per account; unticking Feature updates & tips after it has already gone has no effect on that specific send.

Get your timezone right

Events are scheduled at a real wall-clock time, displayed in your timezone. Set the wrong zone and the numbers lie — a 6:00 PM local start can read an hour or more off, and your game-day reminder arrives at the wrong moment. Set it once under Timezone: pick from the list or use Detect My Timezone, then save.

Your name and username

Account Information holds two separate fields. Full Name is your display name shown to other players — up to 100 characters, no format restrictions. Username is the short handle used in your referral link; 3–50 characters, letters, numbers, and underscores only, unique across accounts. Each field saves independently when you press Save Name or Save Username. If a username is taken you'll see an error immediately — try a variation.

Referral link

When your account has a referral code, a Share picklefriend.net card appears. The When someone clicks your link, send them to: dropdown lets you pick where visitors land — Homepage, About Page, Features Page, Sign Up Page, or Mixer App — and saves on the spot. Anyone who signs up through your link is counted. No rewards are currently attached to that count.

Your timezone vs. a group's timezone

Setting	Where it lives	What it affects
Your timezone	Profile → Timezone	How event times display to you
Group timezone	Group Settings → Ratings tab	Default timezone for new events in that group

Your profile timezone controls what you read. If an event is set at 6:00 PM Pacific and your profile is on Eastern, you see 9:00 PM. The group's timezone (set in Group Settings) is the default an organizer sees when creating events — it has no effect on how times display to you personally.

What's next

• Groups — how groups connect you to organizers and rosters.
• Group Settings — configure rating, game, and policy defaults per group.
• Creating an event — how the events that trigger those emails get made.
• Managing your emails — the no-login unsubscribe page for players who don't have a PickleFriend account.
