📧 Woof! Email Notifications Are Here! 🐾

Breaking news from the ParkBuddies pack: Your inbox is about to become a lot more exciting (and furry)!

🎉 What's All the Barking About?

We've just unleashed our brand new Email Notification System! Now you'll never miss when your furry friends are having adventures at the dog park. Whether it's a spontaneous playdate or the end of an epic zoomies session, you'll be the first to know!

Think of it as your personal "dog-parazzi" keeping you updated on all the tail-wagging action in your pack. 📸🐕

🐕 Three Types of Pawsome Notifications

1. Check-In Alerts 🏃‍♂️

"🎾 Your buddy is at the park!"

When your dog-loving friends check into a park, you'll get a delightfully furry email letting you know:

Who's at the park (because timing is everything for epic playdates!)
Which park they're at (with a handy link to join the fun)
A gentle reminder that their pup is probably doing happy zoomies right now

Perfect for: Spontaneous meetups and making sure your dog doesn't miss out on their BFF's park adventures!

2. Check-Out Updates 🏠

"Time to head home!"

Get the scoop when friends finish their park adventures:

How long they stayed (was it a quick potty break or an all-day adventure?)
A sweet reminder that their pup is probably tired but happy
The perfect time to send a "How was the park?" message

Perfect for: Knowing when to schedule the next playdate and comparing adventure lengths!

3. Fresh Blog Posts 📰

"Hot off the press!"

Be the first to fetch our latest articles:

New park guides and hidden gems
Training tips from fellow dog parents
Community stories that'll make your tail wag
Feature announcements (like this one!)

Perfect for: Staying up-to-date with the ParkBuddies community and discovering new adventures!

🛠️ Customization That's More Personal Than Your Dog's Favorite Toy

We know every dog parent has different preferences (just like how some pups love fetch while others prefer belly rubs). That's why our notification system is completely customizable:

General Settings

Toggle email notifications on/off
Choose which types of notifications you want
Set your overall preferences in one wooftastic place

Friend-Specific Settings 🤝

This is where it gets really cool! You can customize notifications for each friend individually:

Want updates when your dog's BFF goes to the park? ✅
Need to mute notifications from that friend whose dog goes out 10 times a day? ✅
Different settings for different friends? Absolutely! ✅

Pro Tip: You can always override your general settings for specific friends. Maybe you want notifications from your neighbor (for those last-minute park runs) but not from acquaintances.

🎨 Emails That Don't Bite (But Are Full of Personality)

Our emails aren't just functional – they're fun! Each notification comes with:

Colorful, mobile-friendly design that looks great on any device
Playful, dog-themed language (because who doesn't love a good pun?)
Direct action buttons to join the fun or read more
Just the right amount of information – no overwhelming novels, just the good stuff

Think of them as little love letters from the ParkBuddies community to your inbox! 💌

🚀 Getting Started Is Easier Than Teaching "Sit"

Head to Your Profile → Click the "Notifications" tab
Set Your Preferences → Choose what you want to hear about
Customize Per Friend → Fine-tune notifications for your pack
Start Receiving Updates → Watch your inbox fill with furry fun!

Already enabled email notifications? You're all set! The system is already working and keeping you in the loop.

🔮 What's Next? Push Notifications Are Coming!

While our email notifications are barking up the right tree, we're also working on push notifications for an even more instant experience. Soon you'll be able to get real-time updates right on your phone or PWA!

Stay tuned – more tail-wagging features are always in development. 🐾
