Gainsight Community emails are misleading since the platform change

Prior to the recent Gainsight Community platform change, emails from the community when a post was created or updated would contain the context of the post.  This was so much more efficient – I could read the context of the post and/or the update directly in the email and if it wasn’t something that interests me or to which I feel obliged to reply, I could just discard it.

Additionally, I’ve observed that I’m getting emails that say a “new” post was created, but it’s actually a response to a prior post.

As an example, please see below.  I received this email today and it states “A new topic has been created in CS ideas” created by user “jaw” 

 

However, when I clicked on the link to go view the post, I found that this was actually posted 5 months ago.  Apparently the reason I am getting an email today is because I previously commented on it, and today someone else also commented on it.   

It’s very confusing to get these emails thinking they are new posts, when they are simply updates to a prior post.  

Has anyone else observed similar behavior?

I’ve definitely experienced the new topic one, and I agree.  I did get one a while back where it just says a new comment was added. Maybe something changed between then and now?

@darkknight Thanks for letting us know and that’s so great to hear feedback from you.

@heather_hansen Yes, we have changed the template now. Now you will have the content attached to the email. 

Happy posting!!!!
