Notification and account settings
Use Settings to decide how Creatures reaches you and to update the contact details that protect your account. Notification choices are on the Notifications tab; email, phone, and payment details are on Account.
Choose how each update reaches you
Open your profile menu, select Settings, and stay on Notifications. Each row shows the available choices for In-app, Email, and SMS.
Turn a choice on when you want that channel. A check or x without a switch means that channel is fixed for that type of update. Text alerts begin off, and turning one on requires a verified phone number so messages cannot go to the wrong person.
You do not need to review every row on day one. Start with time-sensitive marketplace, care, transport, booking, or payment updates, then reduce lower-priority email as you learn what is useful.
Set saved-search timing
After you save at least one search, find Saved Searches under Marketplace Activity and choose:
- Instant to get matching emails as they happen.
- Daily digest or Weekly digest to group emails about new matches and listing updates.
- Off to keep the search saved without alerts.
When Instant, Daily digest, or Weekly digest is selected, emails about recent sales and stewardship opportunities still arrive right away if Email is turned on for Saved Searches. Off stops those alerts too. This setting does not change alerts for listings on your watchlist or individual Alert me if price drops subscriptions.
Update your email or phone
Open the Account tab. To change your email, find the Email row and enter the new address.
To change your phone number, use the Phone row and enter the new number.
For either change, select Send verification codes. Creatures sends one code to a contact already verified on the account and another to the new contact. Enter both codes to finish the change.
The codes expire after ten minutes. If you do not yet have a verified contact that can receive the first code, the row explains whether to verify a phone number first or contact support.
The Account tab can also show your saved auction card. Creatures uses this card for authorization holds when you place future bids. Updating or saving it does not pay for an auction win or charge the card by itself.
