@anna is there something you need above and beyond what is discussed in the topic I linked to?  
If not, are you happy that we merge them?

Hi

I created a “Notify me of new Comments” Automation for everyone who is “watching” an entity. (i add users as watchers automatically when people leave a comment in a relation to “Users” field)

Now all users get notified of a new comment on an entity they are watching. great. BUT assignees get this notification twice (once with the fibery internal notification, once from my setup notification [including the comment text btw])

as i cannot filter out “if author is assignee” in the comments, I odnt see a way to block this …

as i dont want to setup notifications for all other databases - and still want to get notifications about stuff (setting of notifications is “on”) - how can i filter these double notifications out?

as I dont want to “assign” a task to everyone who comments on it … i dont really know how to solve this otherwise…

</div>

also the internal notification makes the new comment glow in yellow … while my own notification isnt …

AND it would be great if both are actually LINKING to the comment and scroll there automatically

Hi!  
We’re currently working on a new Watcher functionality as an active action, so hopefully that would solve the issue you have now 🙏

Not sure if this if planned for, but would be useful to be able to filter by “Where watchers includes (me|user)”. Also be able to access/modify watchers in automations.

Watch action for automations is in scope, Filter is not yet (but we do have such feature).

>
> face_holding_back_tears Watch Entity and get notifications This feature was requested by at least 50 accounts and [has been in our backlog for three years](https://community.fibery.io/t/in-dev-watcher-of-an-entity/563). Finally, we have it in Fibery. Now you can watch any entity and receive all activity changes in your Inbox. Click the bell icon in the top right corner of any entity view and then click the Watch button. There are several automatic rules that make you a watcher: When you created an entity. When you are assigned to an entity. …

If you miss something, add comments to release notes please.
