In QAComplete, there are three standard types of email alerts:
-
Assignment alerts – Notify you when things are assigned to you or when something assigned to you is changed.
-
Ownership alerts – Notify you when something owned by you is changed.
-
All changes – Notify you when any changes are made.
To manage which email alerts you receive, go to Home > Email Alerts.

Once here, you can choose the item type to set the alert for (defects, requirements, agile tasks, and so on), then toggle the alert on or off.
A security setting controls who can and cannot manage alerts for other users. To toggle alerts on or off for other users, select Update Email Alerts for Multiple Users.
Create email alerts
You can create custom alerts. For example, if you want to receive an alert when the priority on a defect changes to 1-Fix ASAP, you can define a custom alert to do that.
