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.
