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 watches an issue(s)

• user is a reporter of an issue(s)

• an issue is assigned to user

• user is mentioned in a comment

• 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)
