Hi Asana Community! 👋

We’re building a shared goals system for our team and have run into a challenge with notifications. I’d love your insights!

✅ What we’re trying to do:

We want every team member to have **full access to all goals** — not just for viewing, but also to:

- **Link parent or child goals**

- **Edit shared goals when needed**

To achieve this, we’re currently **adding everyone as Editors** to all relevant goals.

❌ What we want to avoid:

Because we add team members as Editors (which automatically makes them collaborators), they all receive:

- Notifications in their **Inbox** when someone **creates a new goal**

- Notifications when someone **updates the status** of a goal

This results in a **flood of updates** that aren’t always relevant to each person, since they’re not directly working on those goals.

🔄 What we’ve tried or considered:

- We understand that **view-only access** (via public goals) avoids notifications — but it also limits team members from interacting with goals (e.g., no linking child/parent goals).

- We’ve looked for a way to **disable notifications per goal** or **turn off auto-notifications for collaborators** , but haven’t found a setting for that.

- There’s no “Unfollow” option for Goals like there is for tasks.

💬 Our question:

**Is there a way to give team members full edit access to a Goal — without triggering Inbox notifications — unless they explicitly follow or are assigned to it?**

Or alternatively:

- Is there a setting or workaround that allows teammates to **interact with a goal (add relationships, update fields)** without being automatically notified of all changes?

Any ideas, tips, or even confirmation that this isn’t yet possible would be super helpful. 🙏  
Thanks so much!

Hello @Anna_Yevseieva - Thank you for your post! There currently is not a way to further customize the notifications for goals; however, I will move your post #English Forum > Product Feedback so the community is able to vote on this.

has there been any update here? Can we update notification settings for the “Accountable Team”?
