Managing notifications

You can manage notifications for your organization in the Manage Notification view from the Notifications settings page.

Only Organization Admins can manage the notifications for a user group or organization.

Subscribing to events

You can subscribe to certain events to receive notifications about them. Subscribe to events in the Notifications settings page, that you access through the Notifications panel or the Preferences menu. Visit Notification settings to learn more.

Note:

The Email column is visible for services with email notifications enabled.

Subscribing to an event:

Go to the Notifications settings page.
Go to a service tab and then go to the Public Sector or Email column.
Select the checkbox that is inline with the event that you want to subscribe to.
If you want to receive both in-app and email notifications on an event, then select both checkboxes under Public Sector and Email column.

Subscribing to all events:

Go to the Notifications settings page.
Go to a service tab and then go to the Public Sector or Email column.
Select the Public Sector or Email checkbox to subscribe to notifications on all events.

Subscribing external AD group to events

Here's how to subscribe an entire external AD group to events for email notifications. Only notifications about events that impact user groups are sent to external AD groups.

Prerequisites: For users from the external AD group to receive email notifications, perform the following steps:

Access the external AD user group account in Outlook.
Go to Group Settings, and then Edit Group.
Select Let people outside the organization email the group.

In the organization Preferences, go to the Notification settings page.
Change the view from My Notification to Manage Notification.
Select Add user group, to add an external AD group as a notification profile.
Search the name of the external AD group you added inside your tenant and select it.
Select Configure.
Go to a service tab (Actions, for example), and choose the default events the external group should be subscribed to.
Select the checkboxes under Email to choose the default events the users in the external group are subscribed to.
After you finish the configuration, select Save.

Unsubscribing from events

To stop receiving notifications, you can unsubscribe from certain events. You can unsubscribe from events from the Notifications panel or from the Notifications settings page.

Note:

The Email column is visible for services with email notifications enabled.

Unsubscribing from the Notifications panel:

Access the Notifications panel.
Go to a notification and select the More Options menu.
Select Unsubscribe from event. For example, select Unsubscribe from Action assigned.

Unsubscribing from the Notification settings page:

Go to the Notification settings page.
Go to a service tab and then go to the Public Sector column.
Deselect the checkbox that is inline with the event that you want to unsubscribe from.
If you want to unsubscribe from both in-app and email notifications for an event, then deselect both checkboxes under Public Sector and Email.

Unsubscribing from all events

Go to the Notifications settings page.
Go to a service tab and then go to the Public Sector or Email column.
Deselect the Public Sector or Email checkbox to unsubscribe from notifications about all events.

Warning: Unsubscribing from all the events of a service, via both Public Sector and Email, generates the following warning: "You’re not subscribed to receive any notifications from this service."

The Restore Default Subscriptions button restores the default subscriptions for notifications received both on Public Sector (through the Notifications panel) and Email.
