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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. While editing your profile, make sure you have an email address configured. See Configuring a Server for Outgoing Mail
  4. Go to a page you wish to get notifications about.
  5. Click the Envelope icon in the top right corner to "watch" that page. See Watching a Page.
  6. Edit the Page.
  7. Either wait a while or: Go to Administration -> Mail Queue. Click "Flush Mail Queue". See The Mail Queue.
  8. Check your email.

For instructions on configuring user-level email notifications, see Setup email notifications of page updates.
