I keep receiving notifications about updates on a record that I never followed. Why?

Even if you do not intentionally follow a record, you become an auto-follower of the record when,

  • you comment on a record update in Feeds
  • you are mentioned in a comment to a record.
As a result you will start receiving notifications whenever the record is modified.

For example, you have commented on a feed that is about change of a lead’s email address. You have not followed this lead. But the moment you have commented on the feed, you automatically become a follower of the record. You will receive a notification when this record is modified. The same happens if you are mentioned in a comment by another user.
