Managing profile photo notification (available from December 28th 2022)
If set up, customers will see a banner notification on their profile to remind them to upload a photo. Admin users can configure the details of this.
- From the same place, System Configuration->Settings->Manage Settings-> Customer Category, search for Notification reminder for uploading profile photo and select one of the following options:
- never
- countdown (specified number of days or less if customer uploads a photo before)
- indefinite (or until the customer uploaded a photo)
2. If ‘countdown’ is selected, users can specify the number of days the notification will be displayed for via the setting Days until profile photo reminder is dismissed automatically
