Comments and Notifications

Homeowners and board members can comment on posts to participate in the conversation.

When a homeowner creates a new post, EasyHOA sends an email to the HOA inbox notifying the board that a new post was created.

Please note: The HOA inbox is notified when a new post is created, but it does not receive an email for every new comment.

Archive a Post

Board members can archive posts that are outdated or no longer needed. Archived posts can be reviewed by clicking Archived Posts from the Community Forum page.
