Too many emails? This is what i started doing

You know those emails that come in multiples and repeat every day? Well when I am bored I started replying to each one saying that I cannot do the shop. Maybe if even more people do it they will get the hint.

ummm, There is a function where you can turn off shop notifications. You just have to log into your sassie accounts. Replying to a scheduler who has over 300 shops to schedule,will do nothing but make it harder for the scheduler to do their job. Because they have to sift through mounds of emails of people replying and saying they cant accept the shop. Imagine that a scheduler sends out 10 emails for each job they have to schedule. Then imagine that those 10 people replied that they could not accept the shop. That would be 3000 emails that a scheduler would have to sift through. Please don't do this. Instead please login to the sites and disable email notifications.

A company I use does not allow opting out of emails. Oh well.

I guess you could always mark them as spam somehow, and just check job boards if you prefer. I have never taken a job from an email or phone call. I have been called several times about doing shops in NJ while I live in NYC. No thank you...

Christina, if you opt out of emails, you don't receive any emails from that MSC. This doesn't work if you want to see the widget requests but not the flotsam requests.

quiet, that's exactly what I do. A scheduler from Jancyn got the hint, but not SeeLevel. SeeLevel said they would note that too many repetitive emails were coming out.

Second To None's grocery store scheduler stopped sending me emails.

I just set up email filters for topics, or particular schedulers, I don't want to deal with. I sent them to a separate folder, then if I have time, I glance at the emails in the "junk" folder, and double check to make sure I didn't miss anything good. I like this also because I don't have to look at my smartphone an extra 100 times a day when, no, I don't own a Cadillac or speak Chinese

I'm having the same problem with emails and wrote back telling him I just did the oil job this month, why keep ending me the same jobs. I get an answer today (new Scheduler) saying we have a lot more of the same job,
sorry haha. Really....I delete but don't want to get them.

Live consciously....

That's a good idea! Thanks

I just hit delete. I have better things to do with my time, even when I am bored. Heck, it's a lot more fun to come to the forum and read than it is to bother some poor overworked scheduler. Yeah, I get that some of them are annoying because they might be new and not realize that there is a way to set it up so they can send out one email with multiple locations in it instead of sending out one email for each of the 30 locations they are trying to schedule. Hopefully they will figure it out.

I have Yahoo! as my shopping email. I set up filters to send certain key words to trash. For some reason, valid emails not containing the key words were going to trash. I had to undo the filters.

The system needs an overhaul. I know my idea is a terrible one but honestly the emails are ridiculous. Why is it acceptable for me to have to delete 300 emails that say the same thing? Its not like I'm going to delete the email on Sunday go buy a Cadillac on monday and then say dammit, where was that Cadillac service shop again? Gosh I wish they would send me an email everyday reminding me the shop is available just in case I suddenly find myself buying a Cadillac. Oh, please send me a separate email for every location too

There is at least one email client that will allow you to filter out emails by sender, subject, a word, and other things. If you don't want emails about widgets, just set the email client to send any email containing the word "widgets" into the SPAM or trash. You will never see emails about widgets again. Problem solved.

I understand but many schedulers send emails every single day about the same job! That's also frustrating. For example that damn Cadillac job. What's the point of filling out my extended profile and saying what type of car I have, if the schedules don't use it?!

Amusement Advantage has suddenly gone that route of sending an email for every job available that day....I hate to have to turn off emails, but jeez it's annoying!

Ummm, Christina, your company (ACL) is one of the worst offenders of this for me, and does not have the option to turn off email notifications. You can only check a box to completely disable your account. I had to set a dummy email in my ACL profile just to stop receiving the multitude of redundant emails for shops I do not want.
