The Network & matching section groups identity, metrics sharing, alerts, request permissions and network automation.
The Network & matching section of Settings contains:
- Store identity visible to potential matches and SEO metrics shared for matching — how you prefer to be presented. Suggested store cards always mask domains and show DA as a badge.
- Email preferences: Email me when a new match opportunity appears and Email me when a post needs my review (host).
- Boost newer / smaller stores in matching when fair.
- Accept blog post requests from and Allow my store to request — who can connect with you.
- Network automation — Auto-accept incoming connection invitations, Auto-approve and publish incoming network blog drafts, and Automatically send connection requests to matching stores.
Request permissions, automation and the Get links and Host posts filters are what actually decide who you can connect and exchange posts with.
