Hi!
When I set my notifications preferences to “My branches” to receive email notifications only on failed builds on my branches, I still keep receiving notifications about failed builds from any other person on the master branch of the projects I follow.
It looks like a bug to me, as the feature description clearly says “Send me a personalized email every time a build on a branch I’ve pushed to fails, and when it’s fixed.”
This generates lots of noise and renders notifications useless, as after a while I just filter and ignore them.
Am I doing something wrong? How can I only receive notifications for MY builds?
+1 to this. You should only get notifications for your branch/push.
Not sure if they updated the notification settings page but it now says:
Send me an email every time a build I’ve pushed fails, and when it’s fixed. Additionally, for Github and Bitbucket projects, include anyone’s builds in branches I’ve pushed to before.
but to me these should be 2 separate settings as now there is a lot of spam from everyone pushing to master. Makes me want to disable notifications.
Agree - the default to get notifications on any failures from any branch you’ve ever pushed to (and no way of disabling it, while continuing to get notifications of failures in your own builds) is frustrating.
Hi All, Great news! - we are working on revamping CircleCI Build Notifications. It would be extremely helpful if you can take this 2 minute survey and include any additional information in the “additional feedback” section.
Thanks for your patience and feedback on this issue! We’re excited to share that we’ve just launched a solution to address exactly what you’ve been asking for.
Introducing the “My Work” Email Filter
You can now enable a “My Work” filter in your notification settings to receive email notifications only for builds you personally trigger—no more noise from other team members’ builds on master or shared branches.
How to enable it: Visit your notification settings and toggle on the “My Work” filter.
