We’ve tested this multiple times but the admins of our community don’t get email notifications when I assign them a topic. I also couldn’t find if it’s something that can be done on our Admin settings page (I’m pretty sure it’s there but I can’t seem to find it…) Could you please show me the way? 😄

Why would they get email notifications when assigned? It doesn’t do that.

Then I misunderstood this post:
[https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-assign/58044/39?u=vanda\_sarai](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-assign/58044/39)
It’d be useful in my team’s case where not everyone is working on Discourse on a daily basis, so they should only check the platform if I assign them a topic.

I support adding a site setting, default off for “assign\_send\_email\_on\_assignment” (default off) but we got to fix push notifications for assign way ahead of this so they are no longer blank.
