Drata sends email notifications to help you stay on top of compliance work. Notifications go to the user who owns the task. Admins do not receive these emails for other users. Admins can view upcoming and overdue tasks on the Tasks page.
Task ownership notifications (automatic)
These emails are sent automatically when your task ownership changes. These notifications can’t be turned off. You’ll receive an email when:
You are assigned to a task (new or reassigned)
You are removed from a task you previously owned
A task you own is deleted
Task reminders
In addition to ownership notifications, Drata also sends reminder emails to help you stay on top of upcoming and overdue tasks.
Monthly reminder for upcoming tasks
Use this reminder to prepare for upcoming work.
When it’s sent: On the 15th of each month
Who receives it: Task owners with tasks due next month
Not sent if:

All tasks due next month are complete
Only recurring tasks are due next month
Past due tasks
Use this reminder to follow up on tasks that have missed their due date.
