If you have an action item created for yourself or assigned to you, the Health application sends you notification emails in the following cases:

• Assignment. As soon as somebody assigns you an action item, the system notifies you.
• Due Date. Two business days before the due date of an action item in the Opened state.
• Overdue Action Item. If at the due date time an action item is not in the Done state, the system notifies you.
