Aureli can send a regular summary of your portfolio so you stay on top of your net worth without needing to log in every day. These updates are optional, and the portfolio owner controls how often — or whether — each delivery channel sends one.
What is a portfolio update email?
A portfolio update email is an automated snapshot of a portfolio's current state. It opens with your current net worth and the change since the last email, followed by a short AI-written paragraph explaining what actually moved — so you can read the email in ten seconds and close it, or keep scrolling for the numbers.
It is not a marketing email. It contains real data from your portfolio, sent on a schedule you choose.
Available frequencies
You can choose from three update frequencies, or disable them entirely:
| Frequency | When it's sent | Compared against |
|---|---|---|
| Daily | Every morning, 08:00 UTC | Yesterday |
| Weekly | Every Monday, 08:00 UTC | 7 days ago |
| Monthly | 1st of the month, 08:00 UTC | 1 month ago |
| Disabled | No emails sent | — |
The comparison window determines which figures end up in the "change since last period" line and which items show up in "what moved" — so a weekly email tells you the story of the last 7 days, not the last 24 hours.
What's included in each email
Each portfolio update email contains:
- Net worth — your total assets minus total debts at the time of sending, shown prominently at the top in the portfolio's base currency.
- Change since last period — how your net worth has moved in absolute terms and as a percentage, measured against the start of the comparison window above.
- A short narrative — a one- or two-sentence AI-generated summary that names the items behind the movement. The model only ever references items that actually appear in the data below it — it won't speculate.
- Totals breakdown — assets, debts, and cash, each with their absolute change since the last period.
- What moved — individual assets and debts that either changed by 5% or more, or were newly added during the period. New items are flagged with a New tag so it's obvious they weren't on the last email.
- Open portfolio button — a direct link to the portfolio in Aureli.
Monetary figures are rounded to whole currency units (no pennies) to keep the email scannable. Percentages still show one decimal.
The email does not include bank transaction details or individual historical valuations — just a clean snapshot.
Push notifications
The same update can also be delivered as a push notification on your phone (requires the Aureli app), on its own schedule — independent of the email frequency. Tapping the notification opens the full reading in the app.
Large change alerts
Separate from the scheduled update above, Aureli can send a one-off push notification when a portfolio moves sharply — for example after a big market swing or a large deposit. This is controlled by its own Large changes setting and is delivered as a push notification only (requires the Aureli app); it is never sent by email.
| Setting | What triggers an alert |
|---|---|
| Off | Never |
| Major changes only | Your portfolio's net worth itself moves sharply |
| Everything | Also when a single asset class moves sharply on a week the total held steady |
The alert names the biggest drivers behind the move rather than sending one push per item. Two alerts are never sent less than 72 hours apart, and a net-worth alert (Major changes) won't repeat for a move you've already been told about — on Everything, an asset-class alert can still recur if that class remains a big enough mover after the 72-hour gap.
Who receives portfolio updates
Email and push each have their own frequency setting, and both are controlled by the portfolio owner. The settings apply to the whole portfolio — they are not configured per-member.
Updates go out to every active owner of the portfolio. Owners whose accounts are scheduled for deletion or who haven't signed in for a long time are skipped automatically.
How to change the frequency
Portfolio notification preferences are managed from the portfolio's Settings page. You must be the portfolio owner to change this.
- Open the portfolio.
- Click Settings in the left sidebar.
- Select the Notifications tab.
- Use the Email updates dropdown to choose your preferred email frequency: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Disabled.
- Use the Push notifications dropdown to set the frequency for phone notifications, independently of email.
- Use the Large changes dropdown to control one-off alerts for sharp portfolio movements — Off, Major changes only, or Everything. This is separate from the scheduled updates above.
- Click Save notification preferences.
Changes to Email updates and Push notifications take effect from the next scheduled send time. Large changes isn't on a schedule — a new setting applies from the next portfolio movement that would qualify for an alert.
Troubleshooting: not receiving emails
If you've enabled email updates but aren't receiving them, check the following:
- Spam or junk folder — emails from Aureli may have been filtered. Mark them as not spam to ensure future delivery.
- Email address — confirm your email address is correct in your account profile.
- Notifications enabled — go to Settings → Notifications inside the portfolio and check that the frequency is set to something other than Disabled.
- Portfolio has data — portfolio emails are only sent if the portfolio has at least one asset or debt recorded. An empty portfolio won't trigger an email.
- Waiting for the right day — a weekly email only goes out on Mondays, and a monthly email only on the 1st. If you've just enabled one of these, expect the next email on the correct day.
- Recent account activity — if you haven't signed in to Aureli in a long time, portfolio emails stop going to you. Sign in and you'll be re-included on the next send.
Turning off portfolio updates
- Open the portfolio.
- Go to Settings → Notifications.
- Set the Email updates dropdown (and the Push notifications dropdown, if you also want to stop phone alerts) to Disabled.
- If you also want to stop one-off alerts for sharp movements, set the Large changes dropdown to Off — it's a separate setting and isn't turned off by the two above.
- Click Save notification preferences.
Your account and all portfolio data are not changed in any way.
