Tips

• Do not ignore squad notifications. Office hours reminders and squad updates are time-sensitive.
• Respond to coaching request notifications promptly. A slow response risks losing the moment.
• Check your spam folder if emails are not arriving. IgniteAI sends transactional emails via AWS SES. Whitelist the sender if needed.
