How do I disable the first notification when a Confluence page I created receives its first view?

How to disable the “first view” notification when creating pages via the Confluence REST API?

I am using the Confluence REST API endpoint `https://$DOMAIN/wiki/api/v2/pages` to create pages programmatically (from a GitHub workflow). However, I've noticed that when a newly created page is viewed for the first time, my Confluence account receives a "first visit" notification. This pollutes my notification inbox with unnecessary alerts.

Is there a way to disable or opt out of these notifications—either globally, per space, per page, or via an API parameter—so that I don't get notified when such pages are first accessed? I would like to keep my notifications clean while still leveraging the API for page creation.

Thank you for your assistance!

Hi @Tuo Chen 

Unfortunately, there is currently no supported way to disable that feature. Thanks for pointing out that feature. See also https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-82358.

Looks like a limitation as of now. Hopefully we get that soon.

Temporary workaround is Email filtering 

• Create a rule in your email to automatically archive or delete messages with that subject if too many comes and spams the inbox

Other strategies if it helps

• if it works for you/your team, encourage users to disable the auto-watch and watch only important/relevant pages. 
• Promote daily digest : https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/subscribe-to-email-notifications/
