Photo album settings: what each switch does
By Nimanto 1 min read
In short
On the Photo album page, the Album rules decide whether the album is open, whether guests can add photos, whether you approve each one first, whether short videos are allowed, whether the album shows on the invitation, and whether guests are e-mailed about new photos.
The album is ready as soon as the invitation exists, on a premium design or for a host on Nimanto Pro or Business (on a free design on Free there is no album; see Who has an album). Its switches sit under Album rules on the Photo album page: open the invitation from your dashboard, then choose Photo album.
The switches
- Album is open. Switched off, guests who open the link read "The photo album for this event is closed for now." You can still open it yourself.
- Guests can add photos. Switched off, guests can look but not add: "Only the hosts can add photos to this album."
- I approve guest photos first. Off to begin with. Switched on, a guest's photos wait for you before anyone else sees them. The guest is told their photos are waiting for the hosts.
- Allow short videos. Switched off, only images are accepted.
- Show the album block on the invitation. Controls the album block and the "Photo album" pill guests see on the invitation itself.
- E-mail guests who said yes when new photos are added. Guests who replied yes get a batched e-mail with the latest photos and a link to the album. Switched off, nobody is e-mailed.
- Line under the title. The welcome line guests read under the album's name, up to 200 characters. It starts as "Add your photos from the day. Everyone invited can see them here."
Your own alerts
The e-mail and app notification you get when guests add photos are set on your account, not on the invitation: Account settings, then Notifications, then New album photos. See Notifications and the bell.
Make a new album link
Reset the album link is for the owner only. It creates a new link and a new QR code, and every printed code and link you have shared stops working. The photos stay. Print the poster again afterwards.
