That seems to be correct. But the bug is that even though my group is not moderated, and even though the hashtags are (correctly) not set to moderated, the notifications are being sent to pending for

It is now "later". :) I have spent a little time refreshing my memory about all this. My principal recollection is that I ended up thoroughly befuddled about the way things worked, or at least seemed

I should add - when a member does this, the message is properly kicked back. So the settings are correct.

Our group message policy setting includes "Messages from members can only be tagged with existing hashtags, otherwise the message is bounced." One of our moderators, who does not have permission to

Ok, it is a bug. I just checked and neither my group's #file-notice or #photo-notice tags are set to Moderated, yet the notifications are still being treated (and labelled in the log) as moderated.

Thanks, Chris. I unfortunately mistook that for a reply to my private message and thought I was responding here. I look forward to your comments onlist. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the

I think the hashtag should not have “moderated” set as a default, if that’s what’s going on. And the term “integration messsge” seems inexplicable and is confusing. -- J Messages are

The number of posts in rapid succession has already obscured the issue for me. Andy

And: I am posting here about it because I would consider - heck, I DO consider - this to be a bug. It's not expected behavior. Someone in your group uploads a file or a photo, and checks "notify

Right. It's all coming back to me about that combiner. That said, it's not the issue I'm calling attention to here, namely: can someone please explain to me why file and photo notifications (for

It's the notifications combiner. See https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/25562 Andy

Aha, turns out it takes about 10 minutes, just came through into pending. A notification is sent to pending regardless of whether or not the member doing the upload is moderated. And I don't

The activity log entry reads as follows: Integration sent message "File Notifications #file-notice" requiring approval because it's a moderated integration message via email I vaguely remembered an
