Notifications are supposed to be coming to the mobile apps "soon", so maybe we'll get email notifications then, too.

I'm having issues where I can't get any Planner individual notifications to work at all. We're Exchange On-Premises (not hybrid) and have a case open trying to get more details. If anyone can help let me know!

Ended up finding out you have to be at least Exchange Hybrid, if not full Exchange Online for email notifications to work. Would be nice if this was clear in the product :)

Hi! We got contact with Microsoft Support. After escalation with Development Team, we find out, that one settings in our tenant was not correctly updated after some infrastructure change. After service change, notifications coming from correct address and in same manner. But not in way, as we liked before.
