Email notifications

Amal only notifies by email. There are seven switches, and the defaults are set so you hear about anything that moves money without being flooded.

Key Takeaways

Compliance changes and trade confirmations are on by default
Fund updates, scheduled order notices, and dividend reinvestment are off by default
The dividend digest is a daily, weekly, or monthly summary rather than one email per payment
All emails come from [email protected]. Add it to your contacts

The settings

The Email Notifications settings with all seven rows

Setting	Sends when	Default
Compliance Changes	A holding turns non-compliant and a sale is triggered	On

Trade Confirmations	Any investment, withdrawal, or rebalance fills	On
Scheduled Order notices	An order is queued for the next market open	Off

Dividend Digest	Summary of dividends received: Disabled, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly	Disabled
Roadmap Idea Updates	An idea you submitted on the roadmap changes status	On

Which to keep on

Keep Compliance Changes on. It is the email that tells you a sale is coming and gives you the 24-hour review window to react.

Turn Trade Confirmations off if you run frequent recurring buys and would rather read the Activity tab.

Set the Dividend Digest to monthly if you hold Save or other income funds and want a record for zakat.

Common problems

Emails go to spam. Add [email protected] to your contacts. Gmail users can also create a filter to never send it to spam.

I get compliance emails for a fund I do not care about. The setting is account-wide. Change that fund's policy to Do nothing instead, under Fund settings.
