Comment notification emails will be sent to the following users in these instances:
- The owner of the asset or CRM records will be notified whenever another user comments or replies to a comment thread on the asset.
- For HubSpot campaigns, this refers to the user assigned as the campaign owner.
- For other assets such as marketing emails, website pages, or workflows, this generally refers to the user that created the asset.
- Generally, @mentioned users will be notified:
- For any assets, any users or teams @mentioned in a comment or comment reply will be notified.
- For CRM records, users directly @mentioned in an activity will be notified of all comments on the activity.
- Specifically for comments on assets only:
- If a user replies in a thread, all users that have previously replied in the same thread will be notified.
- Users who have previously commented directly on the asset, and users replying to other comment threads will not be notified.
