Default and supported notifications

TFS 2018

Configure default subscriptions to send notifications to certain roles or user groups with specific associations to an event. For example, "reviewer" is a role on a pull request event. "Assignee (current)" is a role that reflects the current Assigned To user of a changed work item.

In the description of the default subscription, you can see the roles that receive notifications. For example, "Notifies you when a build you queued or that was queued for you completes". Role-based subscriptions contain a Roles field that you can view by opening the subscription. Only users or groups that belong to the role listed within the subscription receive a notification for an event matched by the subscription.

Default subscriptions only send targeted notifications. That is, the recipient is always somehow associated with the event that triggered the notification. For example, the default subscription for work item updates only sends an email notification to the person assigned to the work item.

Out-of-the-box (OOB) or default subscriptions

The following events send notifications to all subscribers, by default. For more information about unsubscribing from a notification, see Unsubscribe from a notification.

Within the personal notifications page, OOB subscriptions appear with the following image: Notification.
