Add "Notify on my actions" option for Slack notifications to individual users

    • Our product teams collect and evaluate feedback from a number of different sources. To learn more about how we use customer feedback in the planning process, check out our new feature policy.

      Using the @user option for a Slack subscription, users can get direct messages from the Confluence app in Slack when spaces/pages have actions that trigger a notification. In the standard notification sense, this would be similar to a user selecting "Watch" on a page or space.

      Confluence has a per-user setting for email notifications (toggled off by default) titled "Notify on my actions". This prevents a user's own changes from triggering an email notification to them.

      Given that some users may try to use Slack subscriptions to replace email notifications, it would be helpful if the app had a similar setting. An example may be a user subscribing themselves to Slack notifications for their own personal space. The user would desire to receive notifications (via Slack) of changes from users other than themselves. Currently, they receive notifications of all changes, including their own.

            I'm closing this ticket as, according to my comment above, the suggested feature is already fulfilled by Personal Notifications, which is accessible by entering /confluence notify in Slack.

            Hi 2a17899d8cdc,

            The solution proposed in this ticket is already feasible with a feature delivered last year called Personal Notifications. You can type /confluence notify in Slack to enable it.

            Personal Notifications will notify you only about what other people do, such as when you are mentioned in a page or comment, when someone adds comments to your pages, when blogs or pages are added to spaces you are watching, and so on.

            For instance, if you only want to be notified about actions other people do on pages or spaces you are watching, you can use the following configuration:

            I hope that helps. Cheers!

            It's very annoying to see a notification of one's own work. It looks even stupid.
