Tasks and email notifications

Tasks includes an email notification system to keep assignees and watchers informed about task statuses. These notifications come in two forms: individual task emails and digest emails.

Individual task emails are sent immediately for time-sensitive updates and provide information about a single task. Digest emails, on the other hand, consolidate information about multiple tasks into a single email, typically sent at scheduled intervals to reduce inbox clutter.

• Sent 3 days before a task's due date if the task is not complete and reminders are enabled

• Assignees receive a single digest email listing all upcoming task reminders for that day

• Watchers also receive a digest email of all tasks they're watching with upcoming reminders

• Sent when a task becomes overdue

• Assignees receive a digest email listing all their overdue tasks

• Watchers receive a digest email of all overdue tasks they're watching

• Sent immediately when a task is marked as complete

• Watchers receive an individual email notification for each completed task

• Sent immediately when a task is assigned or when an assignee is added to an existing task

• Assignees receive an individual email notification for each task they're assigned to

• Sent immediately when a watcher is added to a task, either upon creation or to an existing task

• Watchers receive an individual email notification when they're added to watch a task

• Sent 3 days before the due date for incomplete tasks with reminders enabled

• Assignees and watchers receive separate digest emails

• Multiple reminders for the same day are consolidated into a single email

• Sent on the day a task becomes overdue

• Assignees and watchers receive separate digest emails

• Multiple overdue tasks are consolidated into a single email

• Sent immediately upon task completion

• Only watchers receive these notifications
