Thanks for your replies!

 

When I paste the following URL in the browser then I get an error 100: /users/self/profiles/name/board.sub_email_delivery_freq/set?value=never

 

The error message is that the value must be one of the following values: immediate, daily, weekly

 

But what if I want to set it to never which is an option on the original forms?

 

Regards,

Michael

Have you tried not specifying any value? Definitely sounds like "never" is not a legal value.

    Turns out a cohort of mine is having this same issue. Will post back when we sort it out.

      I opened a support ticket and they believe it's a bug in the API. Will post more when I know it.

        I will make this public as there might be more people hitting this issue.

        The UI control you see is actually a combination of two different settings. The following are the "never" (false) versus not never (true) settings:

         

        profile.board.delivery_enable
profile.label.delivery_enable
profile.tag.delivery_enable
profile.message.delivery_enable
profile.search.delivery_enable
profile.topic.delivery_enable
profile.tkb.delivery_enable
profile.mentions.delivery_enable
profile.solutions.delivery_enable
profile.kudo.delivery_enable
profile.badge.delivery_enable
profile.moderation_action.delivery_enable
profile.helpfulness.delivery_enable

         And the following are the settings that have a string value: "immediate", "weekly", "daily".

         

        profile.board.sub_email_delivery_freq
profile.label.sub_email_delivery_freq
profile.tag.sub_email_delivery_freq
profile.message.sub_email_delivery_freq
profile.search.sub_email_delivery_freq
profile.topic.sub_email_delivery_freq
profile.mentions.sub_email_delivery_freq
profile.solutions.sub_email_delivery_freq
profile.tkb.sub_email_delivery_freq
profile.kudo.sub_email_delivery_freq
profile.badge.email_delivery_freq
profile.moderation_action.sub_email_delivery_freq
profile.helpfulness.sub_email_delivery_freq

         There are also these settings to enable/disable in-app realtime notifications:

         

        profile.board.in_app_delivery_enable
profile.label.in_app_delivery_enable
profile.tag.in_app_delivery_enable
profile.message.in_app_delivery_enable
profile.search.in_app_delivery_enable
profile.topic.in_app_delivery_enable
profile.tkb.in_app_delivery_enable

        Please note that all of these settings are actually wired up to the UI or the subscription backend ; so please don't assume a feature exists just because it is listed here.

         

        Edit:

         

        This setting doesn't do anything:

         

        profile.solutions.delivery_enable

        Instead, for solutions, use this setting:

         

        config.notify_solutions
