'Gitlab notifying default approvers

Is there any solution out of the box gitlab offers regarding sending emails for default approvers! In other terms: if I am a default approver for a project X, then I want to receive an email whenever a new merge request is open in this project ! This is doable in bitbucket, not sure if it is the case also with gitlab. Any help would be appreciated.



Solution 1:[1]

There isn't a global setting for

sending emails for default approvers

However, you can make use of Custom Notifications. They can be set at a project or a group level by the approvers themselves.

For example, you can click the bell icon in a given project and select Custom. By default Failed pipeline, Fixed pipeline, and Moved project are enabled in Custom notification events. You can then enable notification on New merge request as well.
