Email Notifications
Widgetbook Cloud sends email notifications to keep reviewers informed about pull request assignments and review status changes.
Reviewer assignment
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.
Review status updates
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.
Enable review status emails
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.

Save changes

Review status emails are only sent to assigned reviewers on the pull request. If no reviewers are assigned, no emails are sent.
