We assign a LOT of tasks to ourselves but can’t find a way to track those. The automatic email notification is what we generally use as our to-do list but half of our tasks aren’t being emailed because we’re tagging ourselves. Is there a way to change this?
Hey there @Kmb1 
Welcome to the Community!
I’d recommend checking out the My Work feature!
This will automatically collate all of your tasks you are assigned to, and order them by date and status.
You can then easily see all of your outstanding tasks in one easy to manage list. This will be automatically updated as you add new items to a board or change the status / date.
You can also follow other team members in My Work, to get a better overview of your teams tasks on any given week.
In terms of the email notifications, if you find you aren’t receiving email notifications as you should be, I’d recommend reviewing your notification settings.
You can find steps to do this here: How Can I Change My Email Notifications?
I hope this helps! Remember to mark as solved if this answers your question 
Best,

Hi! Unfortunately it doesn’t give you the option in settings to get an email notification for tasks you assign yourself. It says “when someone” which apparently does not include yourself. I also tried assigning a task to myself and it does not show up in My Work either.
Frustrated and confused by the same issue, I confirmed with a rep that this working “as intended”(not getting emails when assigning yourself). I provided several use cases for why this doesn’t work (and why My Work doesn’t solve the problem) in hopes that this may be adjusted going forward.
You can achieve that by setting an automation either on a button you click (for example create a “Assign to myself” button) and have the automation assign the item to you.
Then you’ll get a notification
We require a straightforward method to receive notifications when we assign tasks to ourselves, as many of us input our own tasks. It’s unclear why Monday.com doesn’t support this natively. Relying on ‘My Work’ isn’t a practical solution, and it seems unnecessary to set up an automation for something so fundamental. After all, assigning tasks to others triggers notifications without any extra setup. Why is self-assignment treated differently?
