Disabling notification about mention

Loop sends mails each time someone mentions another person (or himself). There are no notification settings in Loop settings. Is there any way to disable such messages / configure them?

    It would be helpful (and easier to get people to buy into loop in some orgs) if there wasn’t an email for every single mention or task assignment - maybe an option in loop that allowed either the loop creator or recipients to change notification settings; something like:

    • Notify x1/day; sort of like the old (which for some reason don’t see anymore?) “stay in the loop” emails that had “you were mentioned x# of times, assigned x tasks, these loops were updated”
    • Notify each time there’s a mention
    • Notify only once per loop
    • Don’t send email updates, push to Teams Activity Feed or other types of updates only

    Or some other combo thereof.

    It’s unfortunate that in an effort to try and streamline communication & collaboration — which all these tools are so awesome for — we still have to sort copious emails.

    I also think allowing comments on Loop Planners (created by loop task lists) would be helpful, and making it a comment in the loop environment. Obviously disabling emails for every single planner comment or note except to those who are assigned would also be ideal. Even better would be being able to link an existing Plan or Project to a Loop.

    Anyway. Hopefully there’s some sort of user or admin defined notification controls coming in the future.

    +1 This app should not ever create any emails without user intervention. It is a spam generator.

    And here comes the /rant:

    The Loop team seem to think that their new app should be the center of the universe. The fact that they have developed a tool that spams emails into inboxes with no control shows you how disconnected they are from productive, purposeful work.

    You can draw a direct line from the unmanaged sprawl that unskilled and untrained users are creating with this app back to the team who is developing it.

    Loop Team: Stop trying to take over the world, and find your place in it. Learn how to work productively and make your app robust. And stop trying to force feed your app as a marketing method. You are doing far more harm than good.

    /End rant!

    I used this rule and it prevents me from seeing email when I reference myself on a Loop page. Hopefully it gives you some ideas for your situation.

    Rule description (click an underlined value to edit):

    Apply this rule after the message arrives 

    sent only to me 

    and from My name

    and with Mentioned you in in the subject 

    move it to the Deleted Items folder 

    and stop processing more rules

    I have the same issue as Alexey. Just replying to his post to try to catch the attention of someone from MS who might have an answer? The original question was posted a month ago...
    Thanks!

    Exactly similar situation. My team refrained me from using this app when I realized they have been spammed with 50 emails when I mentioned 50 times their names.

    Once its fine but every time there is an edit, there shouldn't be an email.
