Benefits of Restricted Email List

Enhanced Access Control: With the Restricted Email List option, only members whose email addresses have been added to your site in Sotion will be granted access. This ensures that your content remains exclusive and secure.

Easy Member Management: As the site owner, you have the ability to manage your members directly from the Sotion Dashboard.

Whitelisted Domains: Optionally, you can whitelist domains in the Members menu. This allows any email address from whitelisted domains to automatically have access to your site, streamlining the registration process for approved domains.

Sotion Member API: Additionally, with Sotion’s Members API, you can manage your members and integrate your memberships with other tools.

Step 1: Connect Your Notion Page to a Custom Domain

Before enabling the Restricted Email List feature, ensure that your Notion page is already connected to a custom domain. This creates a professional and seamless experience for your visitors.

Step 2: Enable Restricted Email List from the Sotion Dashboard

Navigate to the "Page" menu.

Select the "Restricted Email List" option.

Click "Save Changes" to update your settings.

Step 3: Visitors' Experience

When a new visitor arrives at your site through the custom domain, they will be prompted to enter their email address to log in as a member of the site.

The visitor enters their email address in the provided field.

After entering the email address, the visitor will receive a magic link via email.

The magic link allows the visitor to log in to the site and access the protected content.

Step 4: Easy Member Management

To manage members through the Sotion Dashboard:

Go to the "Members" menu.

Here, you can see a list of all members who have access to your site.

Whitelist individual email addresses or whole domains to automatically grant access.

Add or remove members as needed to maintain an organized and exclusive community.
