Provide an "unsubscribe from this object" link to emails about an object
Closed, WontfixPublic

Description

It would be awesome to have a "unsubscribe from object" link in emails. For example on diffs I currently go to the diff and click "Unsubscribe" for this to happen. I imagine the same applies to tasks.

Aside from the workflow you describe here, you can also reply !unsubscribe from your email client.

I don't think its worth it to make this a one click workflow. Reasoning is

  • these emails are pretty long already
  • existing workflows are pretty good (2 clicks OR replying to an email you're reading)
    • making it 1 click (without even a confirm?) could be weird?
  • unsubscribing is very uncommon

I recognize "close, wontfix" is a pretty strong opening, but that's just how I roll. :D Please do feel free to reply to any of the above. Definitely would love to do some iterations here so emails are more useful (not something you want to unsubscribe from with lightning efficiency) for you.
