I’m facing an issue with email notifications in ServiceNow and would appreciate your guidance.
For a specific user, the “Allow Notifications” toggle in User Preferences is disabled (greyed out) and cannot be enabled manually.

Hi @pathumharsh
Check and confirm, for that specific user profile in sys_user profile, Notification field is enabled.

Hi @pathumharsh,
is this a PDI, non-prod or prod environment?
Perhaps the email notifications are disabled as per Email properties. Check this and let me know what you saw there
