What are Digest and Subscription emails?

Digest and Subscription emails inform you of recent activity in the system and remind you to take action.

What is the Digest? 

The Digest is an email that contains updates about your Items in KaiNexus. It includes notifications you've opted to receive, Team Role-based notification, notifications other users have shared with you, and date-sensitive notifications. It serves as a summary of recent activity in the app that is specific to you. 

The Digest will never include Archived Items.

However, regardless of the default setting, you can change your personal preference for when and how often you receive a Digest.
