Account email notifications
On Account (/account), the Email notifications section controls optional email for activity in DataParade. This does not change in-app notifications — the bell in the sidebar always shows comment and thread activity regardless of these settings.
Opening Account
- Open the user menu (your name or avatar in the sidebar).
- Choose Account.
- Scroll to Email notifications (alongside Profile on wide screens).
Diagram comments (v1)
For Diagram comments, choose how you receive email when someone comments or replies on a thread you participate in (or when you are @mentioned):
| Option | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Every time someone comments | One email per comment or reply, after a short edit window (same as before preferences existed). |
| Once a day | No immediate email; items are queued for a daily summary email. |
| Never | No email for this category; in-app notifications still apply. |
Click Save email preferences after changing options. A confirmation appears when the save succeeds.
What is not controlled here
These emails are always sent and are not managed on Account:
- Sign-in magic link and other authentication email
- Workspace invitations and accept links
- Other transactional or security-related mail
In-app vs email
| Channel | Diagram comments | Thread resolve / reopen |
|---|---|---|
| Sidebar bell | Always on | Always on |
| Configurable on Account | Not sent (in-app only) |
For how comments, @mentions, and threads work on the canvas, see Diagram comments and mentions.
