Subscribe to email notifications
Watch pages, blog posts, and spaces, and Confluence will notify you via email whenever a teammate adds or updates content on that page or space. Notification emails are immediate, but changes within a 10-minute window will be batched into a single email in order to reduce inbox clutter.
You can also subscribe to daily and weekly Confluence updates and recommendations, described below.
If your Confluence administrator has turned off email and push notifications, you won’t be able to override this choice. You’ll be informed of this if you try to turn on these notifications.

Note for admins
Confluence administrators can turn email and push notifications on or off for their instance. Select the settings icon in the top-right corner to open Confluence administration. Then find Settings > Configuration and select Further configuration. Select Edit to make changes.
Site administrators have the ability to turn off specific emails for their entire tenant. Toggling settings to off means that no one on the Confluence site will receive this email, even if they turn it on in their personal user settings.
