--- title: Comments, mentions and digests · Tallyfy Pro description: Tallyfy sends emails for @mentions in comments and issue reports on tasks and also offers a once-a-day digest that groups all your tasks and overdue items by process so you can skip the noise of individual notifications. lastUpdated: 2026-09-11T00:00:00.000Z source_url: html: https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/integrations/email/emails-tallyfy-sends/comments-mentions-and-digests/ md: https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/integrations/email/emails-tallyfy-sends/comments-mentions-and-digests/index.md --- ## Comments, mentions, and the once-a-day summary If you’d rather not hear about every single comment, the digest gathers the day into one message instead. Not the one you’re after? The [full gallery](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/integrations/email/emails-tallyfy-sends/) covers all 53. ### Who gets an email about a comment Tallyfy emails a new comment to the people assigned to that task, and to anyone who’s @mentioned in it. Members get it only if the matching switch in their [email settings](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/settings/personal-settings/how-can-i-manage-email-notifications-in-tallyfy/) is on. Guests assigned to the task get it whenever the comment is visible to guests. People watching the task hear about comments from other members too, either straight away or in a digest. When you post a comment, Tallyfy doesn’t email you about it, even one where you @mention someone else. If you watch the task on a digest schedule, your own comment can still appear in that digest. Launching or owning a process doesn’t add you either. If you want a process’s comments, get assigned to its tasks, or ask people to @mention you. When someone marks a comment as an improvement, Tallyfy also posts a copy on the matching step of the template and @mentions the template’s owner, so the owner hears about it if their @mentions switch is on. To check this works, ask a second person to comment on a task you’re assigned to and @mention you. If you test on your own, no email arrives right away, because every comment is yours. ### Somebody mentioned you in a comment Typing your name into a comment pulls you in, and Tallyfy sends you the comment itself so you don’t have to go looking. No picture here yet. Look for **@Mentioned** in small type near the top of the message. ### Your daily digest Rather than emailing you about every task, Tallyfy can send one summary a day grouped by process, with overdue items called out in red. No picture here yet. Look for **Daily Digest** in small type near the top of the message. ### A template was shared with you Tallyfy sends this when somebody gives you access to one of their templates. ![Tallyfy notice that a named person shared a template, with a View template button](https://screenshots.tallyfy.com/tallyfy/pro/email-messaging-guests-checklist-permissions.png) ### Your daily task summary, for guests Guests get one summary a day instead of a message per task, grouped by process with overdue work flagged in red. ![Tallyfy daily digest for guests listing tasks grouped by process, each with a progress bar and due dates, overdue items in red](https://screenshots.tallyfy.com/tallyfy/pro/email-messaging-guests-digest.png) ### An issue was reported Anyone can flag a problem on a task, and this brings you the task, the process and what they wrote. ![Tallyfy issue reported email naming the task and reporter, quoting the report, with a Respond to issue button](https://screenshots.tallyfy.com/tallyfy/pro/email-messaging-problem-report.png) ### An issue was resolved When a reported problem is cleared, Tallyfy closes the loop with the original text still attached. ![Tallyfy issue resolved email naming who resolved it and the task, quoting the original report, with a View issue button](https://screenshots.tallyfy.com/tallyfy/pro/email-messaging-problem-resolve.png) ### A new comment on a step Tallyfy sends the comment text itself, with the process and step it belongs to, so you can judge it without opening anything. ![Tallyfy new comment email naming the commenter and step, with the comment quoted and a View comment button](https://screenshots.tallyfy.com/tallyfy/pro/email-messaging-step-new-comment.png) ### A new comment on your task Somebody commenting on a task assigned to you sends this, with the comment text included.
