Is there any way to receive an email notification when you are added to a project in Azure DevOps? I've seen a few different ones around builds and pipelines, etc. but nothing for being added to a project.
We've got a number of projects and people may be added well in advance of a work item being assigned to them (for information more than anything). Just wondered if there was a quick way of being able to set this so people have less of an excuse to say they've not had sight of something important.?
receive an email notification when you are added to a project
I am afraid that this is currently not possible in azure devops. Azure devops supports sending email notifications when inviting users into the organization, but it does not provide a subscription to add users to the project.
Apart from the negative answer, I think what you want is a good idea! So I post a feature request here in DC forum, which is our main forum for product suggestions. After suggest raised, you can vote and add your comments for this feedback. The product team would provide the updates if they view it. Thank you for helping us build a better Azure DevOps.

I've got a free tier Azure Cloud Account. I used to have a project and requested a free agent for running pipelines. All was ok.
I deleted that project and created a new one.
I'm now trying to create a very basic Hello World kind of pipeline and getting it to run, to test things. The pipeline fails to run with the error below.
Error Message: No hosted parallelism has been purchased or granted. To request a free parallelism grant, please fill out the following form https://aka.ms/azpipelines-parallelism-request
I can see in my organization settings that I have that free agent available and 1800 mins/month of run time available. But i think that agent isn't getting used/found by my pipeline jobs.
I'm a noob at azure, so pardon me for any goof ups in the question.
You just write message to https://aka.ms/azpipelines-parallelism-request with your name, email, project etc. and after 24-48 hours you can run your pipeline
Microsoft comes with some temporary alternative approach until the automate is implemented to grant the permission for those users who requires the free hosted agent pools.
Now users needs to be drop the email to get the free tier access based on the project visibility types.
There is not a standard timeline for approval which someone can predict approval in days, but by considering the mass requests and manual approval process we can consider the timeline of 7 to 15 working days from your email.

Solution: Just after posting this question, I thought of creating another project and make it private. I then ran a sample pipeline and it worked. So basically, my issue was that the pipeline granted to me was for a private project and not a public one. I had forgotten about it as i was revising azure after some time.
Azure boards MS Team integration. Only showing Issues or Epics, where are my work items?
I added a tab into a Team channel, and I can see Issues, but there is not option for showing the Work Item field?
On the Azure Boards website I see both fields: Issues and Work items.
Here is no Work Item field
This is the website showing both types at once
As I understand, you are not able to see work item field.
If you need to see work item field,
you need to connect to a project and not just a repository.
From the connect to a Project dialog.
Use CTRL-Shift to select your options and then choose Connect.
The new Work Items experience is available when you connect to a Azure Repos Git repository.
For further reading please follow the document.
You need to set up and manage subscriptions for creating and updating work items. You can create subscriptions to monitor work items at any time using the #azure boards subscriptions command.
Please go through the documentation for more info.
wow I can believe after almost a year nobody replied you. You can set it up in the Organization Settings > Boards > Settings then you can see the process selected. e.g Agile, Basic (what you mentioned) Scrum, etc.
I hope helped someone after this.
I'm a member of one of my colleague's personal Azure DevOps Services organization (I hope I'm using that term correctly). And there's another Azure DevOps organization that we're both a part of. In my colleague's personal organization there's a project I've been working on for a while. My colleague and I both agree that it would be best, at this time, to move that project from his personal organization to our company's organization in Azure DevOps Services. Only, we don't know how to do that.
So, is it possible to move a project (code, wiki, board, etc.) from one Azure DevOps organization to another? If so, how do I go about doing that?
Daniel Mann's answered my question in his comment in reply to my question:
No, it's not possible to move a project between organizations. The
best you can do is employ various migration tools to recreate the work
item data in the new organization, and accept that there is going to
be some degree of loss of fidelity. For example, you can easily move
your repos, but pull requests are simply not transferrable.
In Azure DevOps Repos we are using branch protection and the "Include Automatically Code Reviewers" policy. As automatic reviewer we have created an Azure DevOps team to list all the possible reviewers.
If now a PR is created then this team is added automatically as a reviewer. But none of the people within that team get any notification that a review should be done.
Is that on purpose or just a wrong configuration or a bug?
Thank you
You need to set up Team Notifications in your project using Manage notifications for a team, group, or organization documentation page.
I'm in the process of setting up an in-house Azure DevOps environment. But I'm stuck at a point where I need to set up an email integration.
Question: is it possible within Azure DevOps to create a work item (in general/specific to a project) upon receiving an email?
Trigger: Users report issues via a generic email address (like support email)
Manage: Azure DevOps to capture this email (monitor inbox of this generic email address)
Output: A new work item is created with the contents/subject from the captured email.
Note: Issues could either be a bug, minor usability or other supports
I did look into MS Power Automate using flow. But not ideal in my
case
Searched market place for a possible plugin. But couldn't find one
which does this
Thanks in advance for any help or direction.
Thanks you for all fellow contributors who suggested alternative approach. Unfortunately, these suggestions doesn't solve my concern at its level and hence I raised a feature request in Azure DevOps Server forum. You may find the request here and please vote it if you think it is relevant to you.
The easy way is to use the TFS Work Items from Outlook tool.
It's give you the ability to create a work item from outlook and also create rules for create work items automatically (with templates).
Note: the name is TFS Work Items but it should works also with ADO.
Azure DevOps does not contain feature to create work items through email. You can try:
TeamBox (pop3)
As you mentioned MS Power Automate or Azure Logic App.
Create your solution with existing resources. As example: Mail.dll - .NET email component (IMAP, POP3, S/MIME), Create Work Item in Team Services Through API
As Shamrai Aleksander mentioned above, for now Azure Devops Service doesn't support creating WITs from email.
Not sure if above extensions shared by Shamrai Aleksander and Shayki Abramczyk meet your needs well, I think you can also consider posting a feature request if you do want such feature comes true in Azure Devops Service. Since it's a good idea, feel free to suggest a feature to User Voice Forum of ADO.
Your requirements seems to be similar to this one which is posted in 2019, I recommend you can post a new one to share your feedback. Also, share the link in your question and members who interested in that would vote for you! Hope it helps.
This is a good use case for a Logic App. You can create an app that triggers on a new email, using the Outlook connector, and then create a work item using the DevOps connector.
You can also add logic in the middle (using the Control connector and variables, for instance), to assess the content of the email and dynamically set the target project, work item type, or tags.
You can user Microsoft Power Automate to do that.
You activator would be receiving an email and the rest of the workflow is up to you. It creates issues correctly and there is even a workaround to add files to the issue with power automate.
