Not receiving email notification when a user request for access APP

Hello 
 
I published some of the reports into APP but not getting email notification when a user request report access from the App. It worked fine from the WorkSpace but not working on APP side. I am one of the admins for PBI service and already added my email into the App Setup-Contact Information section
I tried to research online for last few days with no luck. Would really appreciate any help, suggestion, advice!
 
Thanks!

Hi All, 

 

When a user requests permission to my workspace 'App' I approve the permission using the 'Grant Access' via an emai notification but they don't receive an email notfication to say its been approved. 

 

is there a way this can be set up using the App?

 

thanks

Hi there

What happens if you add the user to the Contact Information?

Does it then work?

No, I haven't tried that. Our users are part of user group with 30-50 people in it. so, if I add the user group, would they all receive the email notification when one of the users request for App access? Could you please clarify this? Really appreciate your help!

 

Thanks!
