Once Email Notifications Digest is installed and configured, each user in the system will start receiving the digest of recent JIRA updates at date/time specified in Global Configuration page or Personal Configuration page (if configured by the user).

Notification Digest Basics

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

If user does not have permissions to watch JIRA project (JIRA Administation > Projects > specific Project > Permissions > Browse Project), email notifications will not sent to his/her email address.

  • 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 watches an issue(s)
  • user is a reporter of an issue(s)
  • an issue is assigned to user
  • user is a Project Lead in specified JIRA project
  • user is allowed to see the change according to the level of visibility (e.g., if comment added to JIRA issue is visible to a user) 

User does not receive email notifications in case of:

  • 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 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.

Email Digest

You will receive digest email at a scheduled date/time if there is at least one update happened in JIRA where you are the watcher.

If there were no updates in JIRA then the digest email will not be sent.
