I'm running GAMADV-XTD3 6.10.02

We had another first this week. My new HR employee said she was not receiving any emails from the HR group. We double-checked that she was a member of that group. 

Turns out, and I have no idea how, her personal subscription settings for that group were set to "No email". She says that she didn't change any settings in https://groups.google.com/my-groups

Two questions: 
  1. Can GAM tell me if employees are in a group and set to No Email? That would be helpful to know. 
  2. Is there a setting when I add someone to a group that sets them to "Each Email"? I thought that was the default. 
I added her to that HR group using GAM. 

gam update group hr add member first.last

Thanks!

Hi. Sorry to unearth an old thread but a search did not give me what I need.

Is there a way to set the default subscription to "no email" for any new members added? I use a GG to manage some access and have to manually change the subscription to "no email" for all new members.

Thanks in advance.

I have used the following standard gam command, and it does work.

gam update group <groupEmail> add manager nomail user <userEmail>
gam update group <groupEmail> add member nomail user <userEmail>

Curious about this too.
We use the Group internally to send important announcements to all Staff.
But we want to be sure that nobody sets to Digest or NoMail.
Is there a way to be sure that every member is on Each Email?
And lock it so they cannot change it?

Or would we have to run a command before each email announcement to the group to set every member to Each Email (just to be sure)?

Yes.

gam redirect csv ./GroupMembers.csv print group-members group <GroupEmail> delivery


gam config csv_input_row_drop_filter "delivery_settings:text=ALL_MAIL" csv GroupMembers.csv gam update group "~group" update delivery allmail "~email"
