Notification Digest Basics

• User that has Issue/Project Watch settings switched on gets one email with collected JIRA notifications at a time.
  
  

...

• One email contains specified records and does not reach defined maximum (Maximum Records per Email setting)
• No email is sent when no changes in JIRA issues were made

Digest Recipients

User receives email notifications only based on their settings / permissions:

...

• user stops watching an issue(s)
• reporter of an issue changes
• an issue gets assigned to a different user
  • that user starts getting email notifications
• another user is set as project lead in that JIRA project
• user is inactive in JIRA
• user is not allowed to see the change according to the level of visibility (e.g., if comment added to JIRA issue can be seen only to a specified group of users in JIRA)

Open your JIRA User Profile → Email Digest menu to configure your personal digest settings

The page will show how many notifications is already in the digest, allow you to preview the digest and tell the system to send Email Digest immediately.

In addition, you can change whether the plug-in should send digest to you, time slots in a week to send digest and the maximum limit of the amount of records in it.
