Description: We configured an account (neobiota_lu) with the purpose of getting notifications when “neobiota” species are reported here in Luxembourg. What we did is create subscriptions to the place “Luxembourg” ( https://inaturalist.lu/places/8147 ) and added the taxa in question (the list is quite…

@paul_luap this should be working now

Can you share a few links of observations that you think should have triggered subscription notifications but didn’t? A collection project wouldn’t generate email notifications, but a collection project using Luxembourg as the place rule with all of those species as taxon rules might help surface t…

Ah ha, I just found the collection project Neobiota Luxembourg . It would be great to hear more about what you aren’t currently able to do with the collection project that you’re trying to do with subscriptions.

Yes we have that project already for some time and it is a great way to see what has already been reported.

I also just realised that I do not seem to be able to subscribe to every place. e.g. this one that we use as a very precise polygon of Luxembourg: https://inaturalist.lu/places/grand-duche-de-luxembourg I am not able to find it in the search it in the subscribe to place setup … [image]

[image] paul_luap: very precise polygon It might be worth noting that iNat simplifies polygons on upload. The official standard place that iNat has for Luxembourg has 99.9% of the species and 99.7% of the observations contained in the place that you created.

So if you subscribe to a taxon will it notify you about the taxon?

Yes, but if you want notifications of that taxon from a particular place instead of the whole world, you need to subscribe to notifications from the place, adding the taxon name.

I read it that the goal is to have notifications go to this user account: https://www.inaturalist.org/people/3058542
