Emails members get ​

Four systems email members. When a member asks about an email, this says who sent it. For FMS's membership emails it also depends on how the member pays.

"Ends soon" and "welcome" can be stopped ​

Both end with Stop these emails. The member sees a page for their address with a Stop these emails button. Their mail app's own unsubscribe button does the same. The page also offers Start them again.

Stopping them never stops the account emails, invoices, receipts, card emails or newsletters. Newsletters are chosen on the account page.

Which switch sent it

A member who pays by card gets only what their payment account's page switches on. Everyone else follows Settings → Email. Omise sends no email at all, so an Opn member's receipts come from FMS.

A member says they never got "ends soon"

Check Recent member email on Settings → Email. If nothing is listed, the member may have pressed Stop these emails, or they pay by card, get a gift or are on a team: those members get other reminders instead.
