Azure Devops Deployment Approval - azure

I am setting a release pipeline with pre deployment condition that someone have to approve the deployment . When I set that to one person that works very well ,and that person gets the notification email .
If I set this to a group then members of this group do not get the notification emails .
I can still go an approve through the user interface but never get the emails .
Is there a solution for this ?

Azure devops notifications

i am not able to figure out why notifications about new comments on work items are not coming to some of the users..Does it has to do something with the subscription type of the user?
It seems that all users that has visual studio enterprise subscription are getting the emails and all others(basic/stakeholders) not.
In your notification subscription, you choose 'Team members by role'. For this choice, only certain team members associated with the event are notified. For example, in your issue, it will only deliver email to users fits the filters 'Assigned to (current),Assigned to (previous),Assigned to (new),changed by,created by,authorized as'.
If you would like all team members received the notification, please kindly choose 'members of team'
you could see Create an email subscription for more details.

Send email notification for inactive task or bugs----Azure Devops

How do you configure an Email Notification for an individual user in an organization for not responding in a timeframe?
Eg: An email notification gets sent if Initial Response was not met within say 6 hours of VSO being assigned.
In Azure DevOps project notification settings, it's possible to configure a notification based on the following actions taking place on a work item:
Notification settings based on a timeout, or lack of response, are not apparent.
Is it possible to configure a notification based on a lack of activity for a work item?
Currently there are below pre-defined notifications for work items in Azure Boards.
See: Manage your personal notifications for details.
I am afraid that no such notifications are designed for your requirement. However, as a workaround, we can create a query to find those work items which are not changed from New for a period when they have been assigned to members, as below.
Above query will query bugs and tasks which are assigned to members but still state in New state and they are created earlier than today across projects. See: Define a query for details.
And clicking "Email query" allows you to send this query result to specific members.

Azure action group not sending emails for outlook contact group

I want to configure an alert in Azure portal. When it fires, I want to send a notification to a contact group, for example: mygroup#xxx.com.
I choose action type: Email/SMS/Push/Voice
Interesting thing: when I set up action group not for a contact group, but for my personal email - I see the alert in my mailbox.
Is there any way to configure action group for a contact group consisting of emails?
Is there a whitelist/blacklist configuration somewhere?
Verify that emails from these three addresses are not blocked:
azure-noreply#microsoft.com
azureemail-noreply#microsoft.com
alerts-noreply#mail.windowsazure.com
It is common that internal
mailing lists or distribution lists block emails from external email
addresses. You need to whitelist the above email addresses. To test,
add a regular work email address (not a mailing list) to the action
group and see if alerts arrive to that email.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/platform/alerts-troubleshoot
Note also that sometimes MS/Azure IPs get blacklisted as well, and the Azure Portal will still say the notification was "fired" with no indication it failed. Sad, but true.
