Everything that involves you shows in the **Approvals inbox** in the top bar, and that's always on. Emails, and how much you hear about each template or flow, are up to you. Only you see these settings.

## Get one email a day

Choose **Right away** for one email per action, or **Off** for no approval emails from this workspace. The setting is per workspace. With **Right away**, comments that reach you in the same minute come as one email.

To turn approval emails off in every workspace, open **Account Settings** from the menu under your avatar and switch off **Approval and comment emails**. In-app notifications stay on.

## Follow or mute one template

Open the template's comments, from the **Comments** icon on the studio's left rail or the comment count on its board card. Click the bell at the top, **Notifications for this template**, and pick one:

| Option  | What you get about this template                                     |
| ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Follow  | Everything                                                           |
| Default | Only what involves you, like mentions, replies and approval requests |
| Mute    | Nothing, not even mentions or approval requests                      |

To hear about everything in a whole flow, ask someone who manages it to give you **Follow** access on its **Access** tab.

Reviewers don't see workspace settings. **Notification settings** in their Approvals inbox opens **Account Settings**, where the **Approval and comment emails** switch turns their emails on or off.

## Common problems

| You see | Why, and what to do |
| --- | --- |
| **Email** is greyed out: "Approval emails are turned off for your account." | Turn **Approval and comment emails** back on in **Account Settings**. |
| No **Approvals and comments** section on the Notifications tab | The workspace has no approval flow yet. |
| No "Review needed" emails | You may not be an approver in that stage, or **Email** is on **Daily digest** or **Off**. |
| You muted a template and missed a review request | **Mute** silences everything. Switch it back to **Default**. |

You never get notified about your own actions.
