Hi, any updates on this request? This would be super useful for us to track our new hires. We do not want notifications going out to them.

I would like to have access to a board, but not automatically be subscribed to all notifications.
To give you more context, we use Monday boards to track company goals. There are dozens of items, and dozens of people chiming in daily on each one. Itâs made my inbox basically useless for all the noise. If I unsubscribe from the board then I can no longer access to company goals, read about, or update on progress myself.
Yes! I have people on my team who complain that there are too many email notifications for things they dont need to see. If they shut notifications, they dont get what they needâŠthey end up ignoring all Monday.com emailsâŠspells disaster!
I need to be able to completely customize notifications not just a general ideaâŠand only opt in to some, not all, when accessing a board

I completely agree! I am new to Monday but finding the entire notification system non scientific and not smart for exactly the reasons you said. What I was told to do is basically turn all the email notifications off aside for the option for updates that @ mention you and teach my team to always @ mention in all updates and replies.

@deena that is a decent idea but not the most efficientâŠit means that an automation needs to be set up for every single thing that you DO want an update onâŠlots of detail in the set up...@monday.com should really work on this 
I think there is a lot of room for options and flexibility here. And I think weâre all asking for the same thing. The ability to easily pick and choose what we want to see updates for, down to the item level. And having visibility to a board should not be tied to also receiving notifications about it, unless I select that option.
Please upvote this thread if you want to support changes to the notifications.

@deena I am following your suggestion for now- removing ALL notifications and creating automations for the ones I want - its a huge pain and I need to create them in every single board I have open. I am open to better ideas as wellâŠ
@ingridbee is right, we need to keep upvoting, the Monday guys will work their magic to fix us up soon enoughâŠ

Concordo com o que @abelha estå propondo. Estar vinculado a um quadro é importante, porém não quero receber todas as notificaçÔes dele.
+1. My company needs this as well. It would be a game changer to be able to shut off notifications for a specific board or workspace.
I agree that notifications are crazy. I have created a lot of boards at my company as a super user and that automatically subscribes me to random thing that I have no concern with. Like I constantly get notifications that someone deleted something that I am subscribed to. I am only subscribed because I am the board owner. I donât need to see any of that. Up vote!

Hello Ingrid,
Press your avatar at the lower left corner and go to âMy Profileâ, then go to the notifications section. Check or uncheck notification according to your preferences.
I hope this will solve the problem.
Good luck,
Oz
Appreciate those that are pointing me to the notification preferences, but thatâs not the issue. The preferences donât offer the option I am looking for. I have contacted Monday about this specifically and they agreed that the level of flexibility in the notifications is not currently available, which is why I made this post. I want to have access to a board without getting all the notifications related to that board.

This is definitely a huge issue. I am in the same boat as @MarkNariy in that I am the Admin for our team, and as such, create a lot of the boards, but I donât necessarily participate in all of those boards. I end up getting the notifications from those boards and have to either remove myself as an owner or (in many cases) assign someone else as the owner so I can be removed as the owner. This is more annoying than difficult for me. However, we are a small company and do not have a lot of active boards at one time. I can see how this would be very challenging with a lot more boards.
For everyoneâs sake, I hope the Monday team can get to this soon. I upvoted it a day or two ago and since then there has been about 8 more votes. So, for now, I guess the best is to continue to upvote as much as possible.
I, too, am open to any other work-arounds. I appreciate everyoneâs participation and willingness to try to help one another on this thread.

Agreed, this would be a great feature. I frequently look at boards where I take no action, and donât need the additional notifications.

hi @Julietteb
That is great news. I am not able to find how to do this (yet). Is there any documentation how to add user in a person column and not notify them?
