Configure Plane Email Notifications Without Losing Inbox Updates
Use Plane Profile Settings > Notifications to choose which work-item events send email. These toggles do not stop in-app Inbox notifications.
Use your own profile and review subscriptions and assignments. Current settings apply across the workspace rather than independently per project; verify controls on older self-hosted versions.
Example: keep comments and mentions enabled, disable routine property-change emails, and continue reviewing the in-app Inbox for the full activity stream.
Step-by-step guide
Review why you receive updates
Open a noisy work item and check whether you are its creator, assignee or subscriber. Adjust unnecessary subscriptions where appropriate rather than removing important mention alerts.
Open personal notification settings
Navigate to Profile Settings > Notifications. Review Property changes, State changes, Issue completed, Comments and Mentions as separate email preferences.
Choose the actionable email stream
Keep Comments and Mentions on when discussion needs a response. Turn off routine property-change emails if they are already reviewed in Inbox; changes save immediately.
Verify with another person
Ask a teammate to comment or mention you on subscribed work. Allow for batching and check both email and Inbox, remembering your own actions do not notify you.
Common mistakes
Expecting silent Inbox after disabling emails
Inbox notifications still arrive. Email toggles only change the email channel, not tracked activity inside Plane.
