How to I get Github to notify me of review requests?

Viewed 5244

My coworkers request me to review their Pull Requests, but I can't tell which ones. Is there a way to get Github to alert me when this occurs?

I see there is a Review Requested filter in the Notifications section, but that never shows anything. There doesn't seem to be any specific setting for this in the Settings section either. Nor do I get any emails.

Is there anyway to set this up?

  1. Navigate to https://github.com/settings/notifications
  2. Scroll down to the Email notification preferences section
  3. Ensure your Default notification email is set to an email address you can receive email at.
  4. Ensure Pull Request reviews is turned on

If those steps do not work, check your spam folder. You may also want to make sure that a different email address isn't specified in the Custom routing section.

In addition to the above answer:

Make sure to tick Email checkbox in Participating section, otherwise Email notification preferences section won't show up below.
