Turn off Capable email notifications

To stop Capable emails for yourself, open your Capable settings and turn off the Email switch in the Notifications section. It only affects you, and Slack and Microsoft Teams messages carry on. To stop approval emails for everyone, a site administrator turns off Email notifications on the Notifications tab in Global settings.

Who can do it

Stop your own emails

Anyone, for themselves

Stop emails for the whole site

A Confluence site administrator


#Steps

#For yourself

  1. Open any Capable page and select the settings gear to open User settings.

  2. In the Notifications section, turn off Email.

You can do the same from Notifications under Manage in the Approval sidebar, by turning off Send me email notifications.

#For everyone

  1. Open Global settings for Capable, or select Manage notifications in your Capable settings.

  2. Select the Notifications tab.

  3. On the Email card, turn off Email notifications.


#If it does not work

  • Your switch is greyed out: an administrator has already turned email off for the site.

  • Still getting emails from Capable: check whether you also use a standalone Capable Approval app. Each app has its own switch.

  • Still getting messages in Slack or Teams: those have their own switches next to Email.



Your inbox, your switch.
