Manage email recipients

By default, Play’s communication is sent to your Play Console account users (depending on their permissions and role). With email recipients, you can add essential people from your organization to receive email notifications without having to grant them access to the Play developer account.

Required Role

Only account owners and admins can edit, delete, and create email recipients.

Notification topics

You can email recipients to receive emails according to the email topic. We recommend that you add email recipients to all topics, to ensure that the right people receive email notifications for your account. You can add individuals or groups as email recipients. It is preferred to add groups to ensure emails go to active employees.

The following topics are available (you must select at least one topic for an email recipient):

• Policy
• Payments and Tax
• Tips, news and opportunities
• Feedback and surveys

To check who is subscribed to receive emails for a certain topic, you can filter the email recipients table by Topic.

Manage topic preferences

You can always edit email recipients topic preferences from the Users and Permissions page. Email recipients can opt out directly from the emails sent from Play (their preferences won’t be reflected in the Console Users and Permissions page).

Some emails are mandatory and they can't unsubscribe from them.
