Use this interactive demo to learn how to disable email and in-product notifications in Jira.

Quick summary

This tutorial shows you how to turn off Jira notifications by navigating to Notification Settings and disabling email and in-product alerts for work items. In just a few clicks, you can stop Jira emails for all work item activity, relevant items, and space notifications.


Steps

  1. On the Jira home page, go to the top-right corner and click the Settings button.
  2. Under the Personal Jira Settings section, find and click Notification Settings.
  3. Go to the Send Emails For Work Item Activity section and switch off the toggle next to it.
  4. Uncheck the In Product and Email checkboxes next to Notifications for All Work Items, Notifications for Relevant Work Items, and All Space Notifications.
  5. Your Jira notifications are now fully turned off.

📌 Why this matters

Managing Jira notification overload is a common pain point for software teams using Atlassian's project management platform. The ability to turn off Jira notifications — including email alerts and in-product pings for work item activity — gives users direct control over their communication preferences without needing admin help. Reducing notification noise helps developers and project managers stay focused, cutting down on inbox clutter from automated Jira emails. This feature is essential for teams that want to customize their Jira experience and maintain productivity without constant interruptions.
