Working with Email Notifications

Email notifications let people stay up to date on the review process via email. When a user enables email notifications, they’ll get email messages each time someone posts a new comment on the review or adds new files. Email notifications are delivered automatically.

An email notification contains the information about changes within a review, and also a review URI. For more information about the review URI, please see Working with Review Links. By clicking a review URI inside a notification, you can navigate to a specific review with updates.

Email notification(s) should not be replied to.

What if the emails are not getting through?

If you’re not receiving notification emails:

  • First check to make sure you are the participant on the review where the comments or new revisions are getting added.
  • Check the settings. Go to the Users tab of the Review Assistant options to make sure you are indicated the email address.
  • Check the spam/junk folder in your email program to make sure the messages weren’t filed there by mistake.
