Widgetbook Cloud sends email notifications to keep reviewers informed about pull request assignments and review status changes.
Email notifications are sent in two events:
When a user is assigned as a reviewer to a pull request, they receive an email immediately with:
- Pull request title
- Direct link to view the pull request in Widgetbook Cloud
This email is always sent when reviewers are assigned.
When a pull request's review status changes, all assigned reviewers receive an email with:
- Project name
- Pull request title
- Current review status (pending, approved, or changes requested)
- Direct link to view the pull request
For "Pending" status: If reviewers have already been notified and no new reviews have been submitted, duplicate notifications won't be sent to avoid email spam.
Review status update emails must be enabled in your project settings.
Open project settings
Navigate to your project on Widgetbook Cloud and click on the "Settings" tab.
Select the "General" section from the left sidebar.
Enable the feature
Locate the "Enable pull request review emails" checkbox and enable it.
Save changes
Click the "Save Changes" button at the bottom of the page to apply your settings.
Review status emails are only sent to assigned reviewers on the pull request. If no reviewers are assigned, no emails are sent.
