Hello Caroline
Here is how notification emails are sent:
- New story / task: in their profile, a user can choose to receive an email for any new story (or task in current sprint) created by someone else.
- Follow story updates: a user who follows a story receives an email for any update / comment made by someone else on this story.
There are several to become « follower » of a story:
- Create/comment a story, you become follower automatically
- Click on “follow” in the story details
- Enable “follow new stories” in your profile. This is not retroactive, only stories created after that will trigger an email when they will be update later on
The only way to « unfollow » a story consists in clicking on « unfollow » in its details.
There is no more detailed way to manage notifications in iceScrum, mainly because we don’t and it to be a nightmare in configuration options. However, you should be able to easily filter the type of notification further by creating filters in your email client.
