By Popular Demand: Routing IGA notification emails to different addresses

Feels great to be coding on the IGA site again! By popular demand, you can now route demo report, survey, certification, and store purchase notifications each to separate email addresses. This should help out studios which have a couple employees with different responsibilities.

Introducing IGA Checkups

Hey there, Team IGA! I just finished implementing a feature I’ve long wanted to add to our arsenal, which I am hoping will really help you take advantage of IGA’s myriad of benefits. I can’t tell you how many times I hear members tell me, “I didn’t know IGA offered that!” We’re hoping that our new Checkups feature will alleviate that.


Once a month, you’ll receive an email that goes through all of your profile settings, games and inventory stock, and makes intelligent suggestions based on patterns we detect for demo reports, sales, and so forth. It’ll identify areas where we can work together to improve things, IGA services you could be benefiting from, and incomplete data on your studio profile or game catalog. It’ll help you stay on top of bringing new games into our system and supporting old ones, too.


Want to check your progress? You can also view your checkup in real-time at https://www.indiegamealliance.com/account/studio/checkup. Don’t want to receive the emails? You can opt out using our new-and-improved email alert settings page at https://www.indiegamealliance.com/account/studio/alerts.


These emails will go out on the 3rd of every month, but since it’s after that date now, the December ones are sending as I type this.


Any questions? Just reply to the checkup email; it’ll go right to your designated account rep. We’re really hoping that this system will help bring you timely information about the IGA services that can be of the most help for whatever you’re working on right now.


As always, we welcome member feedback about this new service in our IGA Developers’ Lounge on Facebook.
