How to notify users of tasks?

Eugen Hofmann April 21, 2021

When I create a task in Confluence (with []) and assign it to a user with a mention (with @) and set a due date (with //), Confluence does not send any notification to the assigned user.

Am I missing anything?

Hello @Eugen Hofmann .

Do the users receive other mail notifications like content changes (creation/editing) when watching content?

If just @mentioning is not working, you can check Mail Queue (https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf74/the-mail-queue-1003129452.html) if there are any messages that are stuck in the queue for sending.

If all the mail notifications do not work, you can also check Mail Servers configuration - https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf74/configuring-a-server-for-outgoing-mail-1003129449.html

Thank you

Hello Andrey,

thank you for your response.

Unfortunately, I can not check by myself but have to raise a ticket to ask admins accordingly.

I'll get back as soon as I have a reply from them.

Hello Andrey,

I have been informed by our Confluence Admins that e-mailing is disabled completely and I assume I won't be able to change anything about it as I am working in a big organization.

Thank you for your support.

You may close this ticket.
