Email Notifications in Project for the web
Published Apr 12 2021 09:55 AM 18.8K Views

Based on the many requests from you, email notifications are now available for you to connect directly with coworkers on the work being tracked in Project.  Your team members will get a notification once they have been assigned a task or have been added to a project.

Scenarios to try 

Assign a task: 

  • In an existing shared project, create a task and assign it to one of your teammates. 
  • Within 10 seconds, your teammate should receive an email with links to take them directly to the project or assigned task. 

Create a new project: 

  • Create a project normally in Project Home and assign a group to your project. 
  • Group members should get an email within 10 seconds, notifying them that they’ve been added to a new group. They can use the link in the email to directly open the project.
