Notifications notify users and teams of status changes, approval requests, comments, mentions, and assignments across the platform via in-app notifications and emails!

At the moment, team based notifications only apply to run step sign offs, issue assignments, and issue approvals. Team notifications will be rolled out to the rest of the platform over time.

Subscriptions

Users that are subscribed to objects (i.e. issues, procedures, etc.) will receive future notifications for that object that are detailed below. Creating an object or assigning a user to that object automatically subscribes that user to that object. In addition, users can be manually subscribed and unsubscribed as seen below.
