Subscriber Controls and Delivery Preferences

Subscriber Controls and Delivery Preferences

Beeprd is designed so subscribers can control the signals they receive.

What subscribers can control

Depending on the surface and plan context, subscriber controls can include:

• Signal categories
• Broadcast alerts on or off
• Delivery cadence
• Pause or mute behavior
• Priority interruption preferences

Delivery cadence options

Beeprd supports cadence-aware delivery such as:

• Instant
• Daily
• Weekly
• Monthly

Default behavior should feel calm and respectful, not noisy.

Owner notification controls

Profile owners can turn **New subscriber pings** on or off in Settings -> Notifications. When enabled, Beeprd creates an in-app ping and, when installed-app phone alerts are enabled, a Web Push phone alert when someone new joins their signal network.

Subscriber update controls

Subscribers can separately control regular automatic update pings from profiles they follow. Turning off regular update pings does not turn off new-subscriber alerts for their own profile and does not change broadcast alert preferences.

V1 delivery behavior

Beeprd V1 creates in-app pings for matching subscriber signals first.

Subscribers who install Beeprd on their phone as a mobile web/PWA app and grant notification permission can also enable Web Push phone alerts from Settings -> Notifications.

Beeprd V1 does not send every signal through Resend email. Email stays reserved for account, billing, support, and future digest-style delivery where appropriate.

Why this matters

Subscriber control is one of Beeprd's core trust features.

It helps:

• reduce notification fatigue
• keep updates relevant
• protect signal quality over time

Broadcasts vs automatic signals

Automatic signals come from connected sources.

Direct broadcasts are intentional manual sends and should feel higher value.

Subscribers can often choose whether they want broadcasts in addition to automatic updates.

If a subscriber says Beeprd is too noisy

Check:

• whether categories are too broad
• whether cadence should be reduced
• whether broadcasts should be disabled
• whether the person should pause or mute a followed profile temporarily
