However, it is only sent if a user when a user has their [notification level](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/notifications.html#notification-levels) set to **Watch** or **Participate**. A 'merge conflict [event](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/notifications.html#notifications-on-issues-merge-requests-and-epics )' should be added so that users with a custom notification level ​may choose to receive this email with their custom settings. ### ### Workaround - Use **Watch** or **Participate** notification level.
