Why am I not notified when someone shares a page with me

Thomas Huber_r3yeli

As I understand I should see a notification whenever someone shares, mentions, likes and comments on a watched page.

This does work if someone shares a page with me directly . It does not work if someone shares a page with a group of people.

Any ideas why this could be?

Btw: The groups and users are managed in Jira and synchronized to confluence

Hi Thomas,

Watching

As a slight clarification, watched pages will send you an an email notification if one of the following happens on that page:

• Page / blog post edits (unless the author clears the 'Notify watchers' check box).
• Deletions.
• Attachments, including new versions or deletions of an existing attachment.
• Comments, including new comments or deletions of existing comments.

(For more info, see  Watch Pages, Spaces and Blogs)

You will only be alerted of shares and mentions if the page is being shared with you or you are the one mentioned.

Sharing

If a user shares a page using the Share button and shares with a group you're a part of, you should receive an email notification (Share a Page or Blog Post). If not, I recommend verifying your user is a part of that group with the following steps:

1. Go to  > User Management
2. Search for your user
3. Verify the target group is listed in the Groups section
