I am having the same problem. Trying to use "Tasks By Planner and To Do" (who came up with this name??) as an add-in to Teams.

There does not appear to be an ellipsis (...) for the entire Plan, and clicking on any of the ellipsi assoicated with each bucket or task has no "Settings" or other options relevant to messaging. So at this point I have no confidence that Team members are receiving their task assignments or updates unless they happen to go look at their TbPaTD snap-in within Teams (which defeats the purpose).

ThunderbirdsAreGo Tasks By Planner and To Do is a Teams app and annoyingly doesn't provide a link to the Planner site where you can change Notification preferences. To do this, open your web browser to https://tasks.office.com/ and you will be able to see the Plans to which you can contribute and the "..." widget where you can adjust your Plan Settings > Notifications
