Updated on Dec 17, 2022

You can control what email notifications you receive from Sakai, choose what widgets are shown on your profile, and manage the Twitter integration for your status updates.

Select Profile.

Select the Profile tool from the Home Tool Menu.

Select Preferences.

Manage email notifications.

Select the radio buttons under the On and Off columns to adjust the settings for each email notification preference.

Manage Twitter integration.

If you have an existing Twitter account, you may link it to your Sakai profile. Select Link Twitter account.

Note: The Twitter integration will post your Sakai status updates to your Twitter account. However, it does not post your Tweets to Sakai.

Select Authorize access.

Log in with your Twitter username and password, and then select the Authorize app button to grant Profile2 access to post status updates.

You'll be presented with a PIN code.

Enter the PIN and select Link.

Back on the Sakai Profile Preferences page, enter the PIN code in the box and click Link.

Note: You can disable the Twitter integration by selecting the red X that will appear to the right of your Twitter handle.

Manage profile image settings.

If you have an existing gravatar and you would like to use that as your profile image, check the box.

Check the box next to any of the available widgets to show them on your profile.
