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 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)
