Add Notification Option for Notes on Contacts That You Follow

Status: Idea Submitted

Currently, notes require an (@) mention of a user in order for that user to recieve a notification/email depending on that users notification settings.

I would like to see an option to modifiy notification settings, so that when a note is added to a contact that a user follows, they recieve a notification, whether or not they are (@) mentioned or not.

Ideally, this would be in the notification options under a NOTES header, so that it doesn’t disrupt teams who don’t operate this way in the notes fields.

Certain external applications that integrate into Hubspot apply information for contacts as notes, without the option to automatically tag the users who follow that contact/company. Requiring users to tag team members for every post when it’s already beneath a sub-catagory as specific as a unique contact/company doesn’t make any sense in todays workflow. User choose to follow/own contacts and companies for a specific reason, notifications under notes should be an option for that.

Thank you.

We have a 3rd party app that sends Notes from our field tech application (Zuper) to the Notes in the ticket related to the Zuper job. The field tech doesn’t know who the ticket owner is, and I am not sure @-mentioning would even work as it passes the note from Zuper to HS. It would really be nice if they were notified of ANY note that hit the ticket (not just mentioned). I know you can follow/unfollow, but that creates too many notifications for the ticket owner as they get pinged for every little change, even when its a change they make (they don’t need notified of stuff they are doing!)
