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.
