Change your preferred email address for notifications

Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Azure DevOps Server 2019

Change your preferred email address for notifications through your organization profile settings. By default, Azure DevOps sends notifications to the email address associated with your organization profile, which is typically the email you used to sign in.

Tip

Quick access: Go to User settings > Profile to update your notification email address.

Important

  • Your preferred email address applies to all organizations in your Azure DevOps account and can't be set per organization
  • Notifications might take up to 24 hours to get delivered to the updated email addresses
  • If you're using the Microsoft Entra profile information preview, your profile is managed through Microsoft Entra ID and can't be edited directly in Azure DevOps. See Set user preferences, Microsoft Entra profile preview

  1. From your Azure DevOps home page, select User settings , then select Profile.
