Watches
Fisheye has a "watch" notification system that sends email notifications to users when commits are detected. Users can opt in for these notifications by "watching" a particular repository/activity stream. You can configure Fisheye to enable or disable watches for all users for a specific repository or for all repositories.
Email templates can be customized if required.
On this page:
Please note, before you can enable watches for your repositories, you must first configure a valid SMTP server.
Please also be aware that no notifications will be sent while the repository is performing the initial indexing. See Indexer.
