Add / Edit Rule

Option	Description
Watch builds	Use this section to define which builds you want to monitor.
Watch builds affected by my changes	Check to monitor only the builds that contain your changes.
Watch builds from selected build configurations	Check to monitor all of the builds of the selected project and build configurations in the drop-down menu. To select multiple build configurations hold down the `Ctrl` key. Select < All projects > in the drop-down menu to monitor all of the builds of all the projects' build configurations.
Send notification when	Use this section to define Notification Conditions.
The build fails	Check this option to receive notifications about all of the failed builds in the specified projects and build configurations. If the Watch builds affected by my changes option is selected, you will *not* receive notifications about the next failed builds, if they fail with the same errors. If someone takes responsibility for a failed build, all the subsequent notifications will be sent only to that developer.
Ignore failures not caused by my changes	Check this option not to be notified when other people's changes caused a build of the specified build configurations to fail. This option is enabled, only if the Watch builds affected by my changes option is used.
Only notify on the first failed build after successful	Check this option to be notified when the build fails after a successful build. Using this option you will not be notified about subsequent failed builds.
The build is successful	Check this option to receive notifications when a build of the specified build configurations has executed successfully.
Only notify on the first successful build after failed	Check this option to receive notification when only the first successful build occurs after a failed build. Notifications about subsequent successful builds will not be sent.
Notify when the first error occurs	Check this option to receive notifications when the first errors are detected, even before the build has finished.
The build starts	Check this option to receive notifications when a build of the specified build configurations starts.
The build is probably hanging	Check this option to receive notifications when TeamCity suspects that a build of the specified build configurations is hanging.
Responsibility changes	Check this option to receive notifications about the responsible person's activities, like "responsibility taken", "problems fixed", "gave up", and the first successful build after the fixes.

Ordering Notification Rules

Notification rules are applied in the order they are presented in the Watched builds and configurations table. TeamCity checks whether a build matches any notification rule, and sends notification according to the first matching rule; further check for matching conditions for the same build does not performed.

The most specific rules are those set for specific build configurations; then go rules for all build configurations of a project; notifications for builds with my changes are the least specific.
