Prevent email notifications on page update from REST API

[John Harrington]

I am using the REST API to update pages. I do not want watchers to receive notifications for every update. I have seen many posts here saying to use:

version: {minorEdit: true}

 But this seems to have no effect, watchers are still receiving notifications. Is it possible to prevent this?

Hello @John Harrington 

I tried it on my test site and as far I could see, if we use the minorEdit: true, it isn't triggering a notification.

Here is how my payload it currently:

 {
"version": {
"number": 7,
"minorEdit": true
},
"title": "Page notifications test",
"type": "page",
"status": "current",
"body": {
"storage": {
"value": "<p> minoredit is true, should not notify</p>",
"representation": "storage"
}
}
}

I have edit the page through the UI a few minutes later to see if the notifications were working there and I got only the notification from the edit directly from the UI, so far, it is working without any issues here.

Is your payload similar to the one above? If not, please share it with us!

Kindest Regards,
Jessica
