pain point: “I don’t need to get notified when I assign an item to myself - I already know because I just did it!”
I’d like to keep getting notified when I’m assigned tasks - except when I’m the person who assigned the task to myself.
Thanks!
I would love to see this change. There’s a very important distinction between items I created (that I assigned myself to) and those that are assigned to me. The auto-assign notifications are driving us crazy and there’s no good way of dealing with this use case.

More broadly, there needs to be an “Excluding” option for notifications. So I can write an automation that says "When [status] notify [roles] [excluding the person who triggered the notification].

I’m surprised this doesn’t have more upvotes, I can’t imagine any scenario where you would want to be immediately notified when you assign something to yourself.
It’s a waste of time to have to clear a notification in Monday on the phone and delete the notification email each time you assign something to yourself, and even more irritating if you are putting together a new project outline and assigning a lot of stuff at the same time.
I have my personal todo list in Monday as well as company tasks and so I want to assign those personal todos to myself too so I can then use the

It would be nice to be able to turn off assignment notifications on a board while initially assigning multiple/all the tasks. Nobody wants to get an 100 notifications on a large board.
Doesn’t look like there has been any traction here from the Monday team.?
Bumping this because I’m now suffering this issue.
Thanks for sharing these insights mate as I am too facing these issue?
Bump!
And this need to be merged with this one:
Any update or solution for this? I also have the same problem that I don’t need 30 emails when I just assign 30 tasks to myself, I know I assign them to myself. Also this can have other applications. We have a People field that has nothing to do with who the item has been assigned to, so I don’t want them to get a notification. if I put their name in the field we use it in a totally different way to identify who we need to then go for approval and I have built in a notification that when something changes a different field then it sends an email to that person but I don’t need them to get an email in the beginning - it just fills people’s mailboxes. I would like us to be able to have the power to turn off the notification for specific columns and a people field does not give you the the option to turn the notification off, it’s somewhere built in that you can’t turn off as far as I can see.
