Task assignment notification email
Hello there, I have read lot of discussions on this topic and I dont really understand email notifications in Planner... I turned on every notification option, but all I got are notifications on ...
This is why I use Sharepoint lists for task management over planner :) easy to setup and can create a tab for it as well in Teams and customize it to do what you want. Even out of the box it’s pretty useable. It does task assignment alerts out of box etc. but you can create view and setup alerts based on those views etc. it’s fantstic. If they would just slap a kanban view to sharepoint lists it would be awesome.
Planner is pretty but I prefer function. Planner is still short a few must have features for me.

Don’t get me wrong planner is quick and easy to setup and the drag and drop and ease to create tasks is what makes it better for users.
Anyway the assign notifications should work. Keep in mind someone else must assign you the task it knows your assigning to yourself and you won’t get notified.

Thanks for your reply, I think I will also try your solution. Im testing Planner today and its working somehow.... I checked both checkboxes to get notifications (in group mail) when is task assigned or completed, and Im following group plan. All Im getting now are notifications on comments (when task is assigned to somebody, planner creates comment on this task) - and as user I have to follow this plan to get it... So I would have to tell people in my team to follow it (why would they? new things to learn / getting notification on every single comment / etc).... These notifications should be much more easier and in perfect case built-in Teams/Planner.
