So my email inbox gets flooded with all kinds of things from all kinds of places. I filter Jira email into its own folder but there does not seem to be a way to filter different kinds of notifications, as some I care about and some I don't. Because of this I receive far to many emails (from many different services) and they all basically get ignored.
It would be nice if Jira offered an on-website notification manager kind of like trello does. The notifications I actually care about is when someone comments on an issue. I see these notifications from the jira mobile app on my phone but I would much rather deal with them on my work desktop computer than on my tiny phone. The problem is I have to be careful not to read the notification on my phone else it goes away, so instead I get to work, look at the phone notifications one at a time to see the issue key, then lookup that issue key on the website so I can read the comment and respond.
Is there any hope of having some kind of notification feature built into the Jira website? It could even tell me when someone replies to this, rather than me having to now monitor my email inbox, which I largely ignore...
Hi Todd,
At the current time, this feature does not exist in the native Jira. There is an open feature request for this over in https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-30286
While there is no guarantee this feature will come to Jira, if this feature ever gets added to Jira, that ticket will be updated to reflect this.
In the meantime, there is at least one 3rd party plugin for Jira that I believe offers this kind of functionality. Check out the In-App & Desktop Notifications for Jira. I have not personally used this plugin for Jira yet, but from reading the description I believe it might help provide the functionality I think you are looking for here.
Regards,
Andy
