Configuring the E-mail Notifications setting

Notifications for REST API actions include the following notifications:

Example:

  • A General notification sent when a record is added through REST API
  • A notification sent when an assignee is updated through REST API
  • A Per Record notification sent when a record is updated through REST API

Note that Reminder notifications are not triggered by API actions. Reminder notification e-mails will be sent regardless of the REST API notification setting. For example, if you disable Send REST API notifications by e-mail and then use REST API to add records, a Reminder notification e-mail is still sent when the reminder condition is met.

If you use REST API to automate actions on kintone and also enable "Send REST API notifications by e-mail", you may receive a large number of notifications by e-mail. To avoid receiving numerous e-mail notifications, disable the "Send REST API notifications by e-mail" option and check the notifications on kintone.
