   Hi everyone,

   Thanks for your patience! Since our last update, we’ve released a few features to address the feedback around notifications.

   We’ve heard loud and clear that comment notification emails should go to only users who are relevant to a given task. Therefore, we’re excited to announce we’ve updated the integration between Planner and Groups so that users following the group associated to the Planner plan will no longer receive a group email in their personal inbox when comments are made for tasks they have never commented on before. Group emails notifications for all task comments in a plan are still sent to the group mailbox. We believe this behavior should ensure comment notification emails are scoped to a more relevant audience of those who have previously commented on the task instead of being sent to all members of the plan.

   Additionally, we’ve added more context to the comment notifications users receive from Planner. The emails now contains a subject line referencing the task name, and within the email itself there are deep links to open the task or plan in Planner.

   Lastly, we’ve updated the Plan settings so it is clearer what notification options are available and who can change the settings. Within Plan settings we’ve updated the text labels to better explain what each notification settings does, added a link so users can access their personal notification settings (which apply across plans), and included a deep link to Groups for those who want to stop receiving all emails from the group in their inbox.

   For more details on these updates, please see our Tech Community blog post here: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2003811

   Please let us know if these updates are helpful and continue giving us feedback about how we can improve the Planner notification experience.

   Based off the feedback we’ve received so far, we have plans to address the following notification asks in the future:

   1. Additional notification settings so you can choose how to receive your notifications (email, mobile push, etc.)
   2. The ability to follow a task or plan and receive notifications when they change
   3. Notifications when you are @mentioned in a task
   4. Notifications within Teams

   Cheers,
   The Planner Team

   Please implement this! This is wild that it wasn’t thought of on its initial debut.
