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)
