Summary 🧭: Task assignment emails help you notice work when you are outside Tabflows. Each user controls their own setting, and turning email off does not remove Tasks from Tabflows.

An email is a notification about work, not the work itself. This page explains when assigned Tasks generate email notices and what to check when humans expect one. Confirm assignment and notification behavior separately; they are related, but not identical.
Never miss an assigned Task 🔔
Task email notifications help you notice new work even when you are not currently viewing Tasks.
When notifications are enabled, an email can be sent when a new task is assigned to you, an existing task is reassigned to you, or a task is assigned to a group you belong to.
Manage task email notifications ⚙️
Open Tabflows.
Open your personal account settings.
Find Task Email Notifications.
Turn the setting on or off.
When emails are sent 📩
With notifications enabled, emails can be sent when:
A new task is assigned directly to you.
An existing task is reassigned to you.
A task is assigned to an eligible group you belong to.
Eligible group members receive the assignment email when their own notification setting is enabled.
Note 📝: No assignment email is sent when you assign a Task to yourself. Turning email notifications off does not remove tasks from Tabflows; assigned tasks still appear in the task list.
If an assignment email is missing 🕵️♂️
Check:
The Task's current Assigned to value.
Your Task Email Notifications setting.
Spam, junk, or inbox rules.
Whether the Task is visible inside Tasks.
