Hi there, we’ve just launched our Discourse instance to a private user group. We set up a number of Watched Words set to flag the post to a moderator - we see a notification instantly in our discourse inboxes, but we need an email alert to be sent immediately as well.

Found a few threads about setting “notify about flags after” to the minimum 1 hour and adding the topic as Watched to get the email notifications immediately, but received nothing - even after 1 hour of waiting. User’s notification settings were set to “always” for everything.

Anyone have a simple, clear configuration to enable this?
