Turn off notifications at board level


I create and set up boards for the team but I do not need to receive notifications for those specific boards. Right now, there is only an option to turn off all notifications for all boards in my profile. Can this feature be done at board level so I can better manage my notifications?

 

Thanks!

Yes I would like this feature too! For the opposite reason. I’m a tutor and I create boards for my classes. I would like to know when someone comments on the boards. I have 10 classes but I do not wish to open every single board to check if someone has edited or commented in it. Likewise, I am also in a team board that is accessed by 10 other tutors on a regular basis. I do not want to receive those notifications. So yes - is there a way we can have custom notifications for each board? THANKS!


This idea has received the most upvotes out of a selection of similar ideas, so I thought it would be worth summarising the other threads / questions that are requesting similar, to demonstrate the interest in this feature.

 

So, for this board notification management idea, here are the other threads I’ve found:

For me, I think it boils down to:

  1. Ability for a user to manage notifications at board-level (and possibly project- and team-level).  The checkboxes would be the same as at account-level but board-level settings would override the account-level.  Account-level would become “default notification settings”.
     
  2. When creating a new board, or joining an existing board, the default notification settings would apply EXCEPT in the case of (3), below.  These settings could be changed from the board settings.
     
  3. The owner of a board can set default notification settings for the board, which are applied in place of the user’s default settings.  This would allow easier management of information boards, without each user having to individually manage these settings.  The user could override these owner-provided board notifications if required.

Honestly, my main reason for (3) is to allow me to share boards with “notify when a board is shared with me” disabled, as currently if I share 30 boards with a user they are spammed with 30 emails.  If I could set the board notification settings off, this would solve that problem.  However, I also see the other reasons people would have for wanting (3).

See: https://community.miro.com/ideas/summarise-board-invitations-in-a-single-notification-email-rather-than-spamming-users-with-an-email-per-board-5696 for the idea concerning reducing board email spam.


Surprised this isn’t a feature already.


In full agreement. I accessed a board once that carries no interest for me, and now receive daily (sometimes multi-daily) email notifications concerning its update. I would like to not be reminded that this board exists, and while I will be using Outlook rules to auto-junk these updates, board-level control is much preferred.

Thanks kindly!
