Email notifications - separate "@mention" and "assigned to" check boxes
My team effectively uses the @mention feature to generate emails to one another, but they also get inundated with emails whenever tasks are assigned to them. Duplicating a simple project from a template can generate 5 emails to a single stakeholder; more complicated projects can generate 15-20 emails!
Could you make "when someone @mentions me" and "when a task is assigned to me" two separate checkboxes so that a user could opt out of one or the other?
I understand why the "assigned to" notification are important to some teams, but for my team they just cause the important emails (@mentions) to get buried in an avalanche of "a task was assigned to you" emails.
Wrike has so many valuable features, but the #1 complaint my colleagues and I is "too many emails." Thanks for listening!

Hi Larry, thanks for sharing this idea here! There's actually an existing post which echoes this request, and it would be fantastic if you could add your vote there to support the idea. I'll close this post for comments, but I look forward to seeing you there: Notification for Tasks. :)
Hi Larry :) In case you didn't see, just wanted to let you know that we released this change!
Hi Stephanie,
I did see, and my team and I are psyched about it. Thanks for the heads up!
Larry
