Release Notes · November 8, 2026 · Web 2.177.0

Summary

Admins can now send notifications by email or push, so updates reach students who are not always checking the app. Email is an add-on that Suitable turns on for each institution, and students stay in control with an Unsubscribe link and a new email preference in their settings. The Notification tabs are now easier to read and navigate with a keyboard or screen reader.

New features

Send notifications by email

When you create a "News or Nudges" or "Linked Announcement" notification, you can now choose Push Notification, Email Notification, or Both. Emails go out in a branded Suitable template with your subject line, an optional pre-header and, for Linked Announcements, a button with the label you choose. Email notifications are configured per institution; contact your Client Success Team to add this new feature.

Improvements

• Each notification card now shows a Push, Email or Both badge. With email turned on, the Create and Schedule, Upcoming and Past tabs show how many emails your institution has sent this month, and a Past card tells you if a send stopped at the monthly limit.
• The notification recipients report for an email notification now includes each student's email status, when it was delivered, and when it was opened. A notification sent as Both downloads two reports, one for push and one for email. Learn more: Downloading a Push Notification Recipients Report
• Students can stop admin emails from an institution with the Unsubscribe link in any notification email, or with the new email preference under Settings > Account Information > Email Notifications.
• The Notifications tabs now have higher-contrast links, search, and sort controls. The card actions menu works with screen readers and the keyboard.
