My notifications, settings are like this:

But, I don't get any emails on it, how can I collaborate with my team then?

[linuxlawson]

Maybe it would help to check ✔️ email for participating too.

[1alexvash]

It checked, as well ✅

[bzkarim250]

Here are steps you may try:

1.Check that your email address is verified in your GitHub account settings.

2.Check that your notification settings for "Participating" are set to "Watching" or "Watching and Participating" in your GitHub account settings.

3.Check that you have "Watch" selected for the repository in question.

4.Check that the repository owner has enabled email notifications for comments on pull requests.

If all the above steps are set correctly and you still have the problem, try unsubscribing and then resubscribing to the repository to see if it resolves the issue.

1. It should be, I use it for years
2. ✔
   
3. ✔
   
4. Is it 🤔 ?
   

[bzkarim250]

you can reach out to the repository owner and ask them to confirm if email notifications are enabled for pull request comments. it seems to be the good solution.

[bzkarim250]

because the repository owner has to enable the email notifications for pull request comments, if they are disabled by default.

[1alexvash]

@bzkarim250 I am a repository owner

It's the only thing I've found on repository emails notifications,
is it somehow related to the question at hand?

[news-manishpatel]

I am having the same issue. Any reset button? I am not sure what I changed?

[1alexvash]

@news-manishpatel Can you try choosing this option:

?

I'm not 100% sure, but it feels, like it did fix it for me, so I'd like to get your input as well

[news-manishpatel]

Thanks, I will give it go for a couple of days.

However, I thought if I interact with a PR like approve it or write a comment I would naturally get all activity within that PR.

[news-manishpatel]

After trying all activity for a few hours, I had to go back to participating and mentions. It is too noisy getting emails for PRs I have no interests in. However, yet to receive emails when people reply to your comments.

[RicFer01]

I'm having the same problem, did you manage how receive an email after a comment?

[deleugpn]

I'm facing this same issue

[hshoja]

The same here

[at-ng]

I think this issue is posted in the wrong section

🚢Actions Discussions
Conversations related to GitHub Actions, the CI/CD platform that allows you to automate your build, test, and deployment pipeline.

Should it not be in the pull request section
https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/categories/pull-requests

Either way, +1 user not getting email notifications for pull requests (I am getting other notifications).

[nilsmedina]

+1 same issue here. Getting all email notifications except replies to my comments.

Make sure your GitHub notification settings are configured to send email notifications for pull request activity. Follow these steps:

Go to your GitHub settings.
Navigate to "Notification center."
Check the settings under "Email notifications" to ensure that "Pull request reviews" and "Pull request comments" are set to send notifications.

I came across this issue when searching. I also am getting no notifications for comments on my PRs. I went to the settings as suggested and confirmed that I have checks next to "Reviews, Pushes, Comments" (for Pull Requests), notifications are set to go to GitHub and Email

[tdbe]

Keep in mind that getting notifications for anything you are marked as "Participating" in, will STILL result in a lot of spam. Because "Participating" >= "you left a comment on a pr" || "this is your pr"

So as far as I can see, there is no solution to only get notifications for: 1. everything on your pr, and also 2. once you make a comment on another pr.

The motivation is simple: do not miss when someone chats in a pr you wrote something into. But don't get spammed by all status updates on all PRs or branches you accidentally sneezed at.

Since this is reproducible by multiple people, I opened a support ticket

[muum-odoo]

Can't find the ticket, and I'm facing the same issue

[signalogic]

@TraceyC77 thanks for opening the ticket. I have to remind myself every day to check if anyone replied to my comments on issues. It would be so much better to get an e-mail reminder
