Subscribing to Circulars

Most users prefer to receive GCN Circulars by email. Automated systems may benefit from utilization of the Circulars Kafka stream.

Receive Circulars by Email

  1. Sign in / Sign up

    Sign up for GCN or sign in to your existing account by tapping the Sign in / Sign up button in the navigation bar.

    Migrating from GCN Classic

    If you were previously signed up to receive GCN Circulars via the legacy GCN Classic circulars service, your preferences were automatically transferred and you should already be subscribed already.

    Once you make an account here with the same email address, you will be able to modify your preferences.

  2. Go to Email Notifications Settings

    Once you are signed in, open the user menu in the navigation bar and go to Email Notifications.

  3. Turn your Subscription On or Off

    Toggle the "On/Off" button next to Circulars to enable or disable GCN Circulars by email.

Stream Circulars over Kafka

If you have an existing Kafka listener generated from the Start Streaming GCN Notices interface, simply add the Kafka topic gcn.circulars.

Alternatively, visit the Start Streaming GCN Notices interface, select JSON, and the Circulars topic.

Note that upon corrections, all revised Circular versions will be distributed over the Kafka stream.
