Email Notifications

Notifications

Approvals for Confluence sends email notifications at various points in the approval process. The full list is as follows:

  1. Approval required emails to approvers when a page or section approval is created.

  2. Approval required emails to approvers when their decision expires, either because the page was edited or because a scheduled expiry was reached.

  3. Approval required emails to approvers when a page approval is resubmitted.

  4. Status update emails to the requester when an approver makes a decision.

  5. Status update emails to the page owner when an approver makes a decision.

The 'Notify approvers' and 'Update owners' settings are deprecated for both page and section approvals, and was removed on 5 October 2026. Now, these emails are always sent, and each user's Personal Settings will determine whether they receive them.

Settings

Every user can choose which of these emails they receive. Go to Apps → Approvals, then open the Personal Settings tab. Under Email Notifications you will find three settings, each toggled independently: approval required emails (notifications 1 to 3), status updates to requesters (notification 4), and status updates to page owners (notification 5).
