User not receiving update tags

I have checked every setting I can find, but I have 1 user who does not receive notifcations when people tag them in updates. None via email and only some via internal WF notifications. Has anyone ever experienced this before? I have their user notifications preferences set to include everything, and their account was duplicated from another user who receives all updates flawlessly.

Thanks Nichole!

 

The user has a review license, and has the same email domain as I do (same as 95% of our users). 

 

And yes I can see the in-app notifications if I log in as them.


Thanks for the additional information! I recreated your exact scenario in my own Workfront instance and a notification was triggered via email to a user with a review license (tagged in direct comment and notification set to instant). Since that is not the case for you/this user, I would recommend submitting a case into Customer Support and they can help identify the root cause. You'll want to share the name of the user, the action taken (tagged in direct comment), the timestamp of the in-app notification to include in your case details.

@joshawajones There are multiple email notifications that could trigger an email notification to a user who was tagged in a comment. 

- Someone comments on a thread I'm in

- Someone includes me on a directed update

- Someone includes my team on a directed update

Do you have all of these active at the global level AND set as instant in the user's profile? Something else to check would be the Group Admin access - are any of these unlocked at the Group Admin level which would allow a Group Admin to activate or deactivate this email notification for their groups?

Thanks for the reply @nicholevargas !

I'm 99.9% sure I have all those options set correctly and locked down so group admins can't change them. I've attached screenshots here in case I'm missing something though...

Great to know it SHOULD work as I have it set up currently in WF - thanks Nichole. This was a huge help.
