Configuring Confluence to send email notifications requires a Confluence Administrator to set this up through the Administration Console.
To configure confluence to send notifications and test that it is working, follow these instructions:
- Set up a mail server at Administration -> Mail servers. See Configuring a Server for Outgoing Mail.
- Make sure you use "Send Test Email" to check that the server is working. Check that you get the test email in your inbox.
- Go to your profile (using the Preferences link) and click Edit Profile -> Email Preferences, then enable Notify On My Action. (Otherwise you'll have to use multiple users. By default confluence does not send you notifications for your own changes.) See Managing Watches
- While editing your profile, make sure you have an email address configured. See Configuring a Server for Outgoing Mail
- Go to a page you wish to get notifications about.
- Click the Envelope icon in the top right corner to "watch" that page. See Watching a Page.
- Edit the Page.
- Either wait a while or: Go to Administration -> Mail Queue. Click "Flush Mail Queue". See The Mail Queue.
- Check your email.
For instructions on configuring user-level email notifications, see Setup email notifications of page updates.
