    Good day McKenna, 

    When files are uploaded to a Teams channel, they are stored in the connected SharePoint document library. In most cases, these emails come from a SharePoint rule or a Power Automate flow rather than from Teams notification settings. 

    The daily summary feature that was previously available through SharePoint Alerts is no longer supported in SharePoint Online. If you would like to receive one email containing all uploads from the day, the recommended approach is to use Power Automate: 

    Open the Teams channel and select Shared > More commands > Open in SharePoint. 

    User's image

    Select Integrate > Rules > Manage rules and disable any rule that sends an email for every new file. 

    In Power Automate, create a Scheduled cloud flow that runs once per day. 

    Add the SharePoint Get files (properties only) action and select the document library used by the channel. 

    Filter the results to include only files uploaded since the previous run. 

    Use Create HTML table to list details such as file name, upload date, uploader and file link. 

    Add a condition so the flow sends an email only when new files are found. 

    Use Send an email (V2) to deliver a daily summary message. 

    Save and test the flow to confirm it returns the expected results. 

    Additional information is available in the following resources:

    I completely understand how these limitations in SharePoint can feel disruptive. It’s not just about aesthetics; these differences can genuinely affect how smoothly your organization works and navigates the day. 

    As a forum user, I hope you understand that I don’t have the ability to modify or escalate product issues directly. However, I strongly recommend submitting your feedback through the SharePoint · Community. This is the most effective way to ensure your voice reaches the product team and can be considered for future improvements.   

    Once you've submitted your feedback, feel free to share the link here in the comments. I’ll be happy to upvote it to help bring more visibility.  

    Additionally, as other users have raised similar concerns and may not be aware of where to share their feedback, I hope this response helps clarify the situation and suggests a potential next step. Highlighting this information can make it more visible to others in the community who may be facing the same issue, making it easier for them to find guidance and contribute their feedback as well. 

    If you have any questions or need further support, please don’t hesitate to reach out at any time. 

    Thank you again for your time and for raising this important usability concern.
