Follow Email Notification Not working?

Hi All,
 

When I add my co-workers as followers to my tickets, I always click “Yes” on the “Do you want to notify the user that they have been added as a follower?” question before doing so.

I have noticed that this does not really notify the user, it rather just starts to send them ticket update information (via email, which is our preferred notification method).

Is there a way I can get this to actually notify a person that they were added as a follower (again, via email), and then provide them ticket update information rather than just start receiving ticket updates?

Hello Friend. I hope you're having a great day! It sounds like you're looking for a way to have the initial email just let a user know they've been added as a follower to a ticket. Right now, there isn't a built-in setting to customize this, and there isn't a rule trigger available for when a new follower is added to a ticket.
