Notifications overview
CircleCI can send you email notifications about your builds. You can choose the email address CircleCI uses, which builds you receive emails for, and a different email address for each organization and project. You can also send notifications from your pipelines using orbs.
This page explains how to configure email notifications.
User-level notifications
Configure your notification preferences, including the email address to use and which build emails you receive.
Default email address for notifications
To set or change your default email address, follow these steps:
-
In the CircleCI web app, select your avatar at the top right corner in the web app.
-
Select User Settings.
-
Select Notifications from the sidebar.
At the top of the page, select Change Email Address to choose your default email address.
Build notifications
Under Build notifications, choose which build emails you receive:
-
All builds in my projects: an email for every build in your projects.
-
My builds: an email every time a build you pushed fails, and when it is fixed. For GitHub projects, this also includes anyone’s builds in branches you have pushed to before.
-
None: no build emails. You still receive administrative emails about your account.
Sending notifications with orbs
You can use orbs to integrate notifications into your configuration. CircleCI offers a Slack orb and an IRC orb. Several third-party orbs are also available. Search the orb registry to see what other orbs are available. For more information on using the Slack orb, see Using the Slack Orb.
