We’ve been testing the new Process Accelerator functionality and some events are triggering immediate emails, ie when the Request Approval is sent. Other activities are triggering emails that take hours to be sent.
example 1. changing the process owner on a document in a repository (2 hours)
example 2 comments on a published document (6 hours)
Why are these being delayed?

Hi @Astrid_G! Just following up on this, our email team confirmed that the delay you experienced is not expected and we are working on optimising this within our backend systems. I unfortunately cannot share a timeline for this but will be sure to update this thread as soon as I have an update from the team.
We appreciate the feedback on this! Please let us know if you notice anything out of place or if you have any additional questions.
@Astrid_G in Lucid, not all Process Accelerator notifications are sent the same way.
Why some notifications are delayed Events like changing a process owner or commenting on a published document are considered non-blocking. These typically go through a queued or batched notification service rather than being sent in real time. This helps reduce email flooding and manage system load.
Why the delay varies Delays can differ because:
Different event types may run on separate background jobs
Batch jobs may run on different schedules
System load can affect queue processing times
Some notifications may be grouped before sending
What you can do
Review Admin notification settings to check for digest/batching option
If timing is business-critical and you have a paid plan, request clarification on real-time options by submitting a ticket to our Product Support team.
@aparrish I have Account, Template & Document Admin roles, and can’t see anything in the Admin panel to review notification settings for batching options. What level of access do I need?
Hi @Astrid_G, thank you for posting in the community! I am checking internally for some additional insight into the timing of these notifications, and will share an update here as soon as I have more information. We appreciate your patience and please let us know if you have any additional questions about this in the meantime.
