How to Change Jira Email Notifications

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to manage your Jira email notification preferences step by step.

Quick summary

Jira's email notification settings let you control exactly which project and issue updates trigger alerts, so your inbox only surfaces what matters. You can disable or adjust notifications per issue type directly from your Personal Settings in just a few clicks.


Steps

  1. Click on your avatar or profile icon in the top right corner.
  2. Select Personal settings from the dropdown menu.
  3. Go to Notification Settings and click Projects and issues to access email notification options.
  4. Adjust the notifications you receive for issues you're involved with — such as when an issue is assigned to you or when you comment on an issue — by toggling the slider.
  5. Disable or adjust specific notifications for individual issues or projects as needed.
  6. Your email notification preferences are now updated in Jira.

📌 Why this matters

Controlling Jira email notifications is essential for teams that want to reduce inbox noise without missing critical project updates. Jira's granular notification settings let users decide exactly when they are alerted — whether for issue assignments, comments, or status changes — on a per-project or per-issue basis. This level of control helps developers, project managers, and team leads stay focused by receiving only the alerts that require their attention. Fine-tuning these preferences directly from Personal Settings takes seconds and can significantly improve daily productivity for Jira users.
