Managing Workday Email Notifications

For certain business processes, Workday automatically emails you when something needs your attention (email notifications). You can change your Workday preferences to control how frequently you receive email notifications from Workday without affecting the alerts you see when you log into Workday.

Update your email notification settings by following these steps:

1. In Workday, select My Account (your profile photo) and choose Notification Preferences.
2. In the Email tab, scroll to Business Processes.
3. For each item, especially Approvals and Tasks, select how often you want emails: Immediately, Daily, or Mute.

Your in-app notifications remain the same; only the email frequency will change.
