Notification Bell within CommCare HQ
Within CommCare HQ, Dimagi will periodically alert our users of announcements using the notification bell found here:
This bell is used for:
Alerts about important Dimagi / CommCare news
Important alerts regarding your subscription
New feature announcements
Miscellaneous opportunities to connect with other app builders!
Emails to Administrators
On occasion, Dimagi will send emails to administrators on a project space directly. Most often, Dimagi will choose to send emails to administrators when we discover an issue specific only to that project space. You can find the list of administrators on your project space by navigating to Users >> Web Users and looking for all users with the "Admin" role.
Dimagi Forum
The Dimagi Forum can be found here: forum.dimagi.com
The forum is used for many different things, for example:
Connecting with other CommCare users to ask questions and get help in the Users category (or the Spanish-speaking community!)
Connect with developers who are developing software with CommCare's API's, extending CommCare's Open Source code, or self-host CommCare on their own on-prem environments in the Developers category.
Keep up to date on big product announcements in the Platform Announcements category.
View various job postings related to the CommCare community in the Jobs category.
