Notifications | (Report Data Poulation) |
Screen Location: Space Tools > Document Management > Notifications tab
Overview
Notifications are essential for alerting content producers of workflow tasks, task and approval assignments, and other workflow-related events.
This tab allows you to customize the space-level notification settings. These apply to all workflows used in the space (when the workflow is applied in page mode or space mode).
The default settings are defined at global level by a Confluence administrator. A space administrator can override them at the space level.
For a user to receive any notifications when assigned to a task, approval or read confirmation, the user needs at least Pages - Add permission in the space.
Settings
For most use cases, the notifications should be set to Default. The default setting uses the global settings defined in Notifications - Global.
If you are using customised notifications, usually via the send-email macro in a workflow trigger, this would potentially cause duplicate emails for the same events. To avoid email overload, an option may be to disable the default notifications.
