Email

Receive approval notifications at your account email or another confirmed address.

Updated Sep 19, 2026

Email notifications bring requests to your inbox with a link to review them in withHuman. Your account email is available automatically; you can also use another address you have confirmed.

Addresses

Account email is the address you sign in with. It remains available for notifications and cannot be removed from the Channels list. Account messages, such as password resets, continue to use it regardless of your approval-notification rules.

An additional address needs the confirmation code sent to that inbox before it can receive approval notifications. Adding an address does not change your sign-in email.

Confirmed addresses become choices in your notification rules. An extra address receives approval messages only when a rule selects it.

Messages and decisions

Approval emails show the tool, agent and expiry, with a link to the request. Request arguments stay in withHuman. Replying to the email does not record a decision; review the request in the Review queue.

Delivery and removal

If a confirmation code expires, a new code replaces it. Check the address and your spam folder if it does not arrive. On a self-hosted deployment, an administrator must configure email delivery.

Removing an additional address also removes rules that use it. The Notifications guide explains how changes affect saved rules and pending requests.
