Notifications
Notifications associate events (both system and custom) to e-mail recipients. When an event is fired and picked up, e-mails will be sent out. Notification types define recipients of e-mails. For example, you can set them to only send e-mails to a specific user or all members from a given user group. You can add multiple notifications to a given event.
JIRA ships with a comprehensive list of notification types (that is, the recipients) that will cover many of your needs. The following table lists all the notification types available and how they work:
