Hi,

I’m creating orders via the API, and I would like to stop staff members and administrators from receiving order notification emails for these specific API-generated orders. How can I achieve this?

Thanks in advance!

Did you ever find out if this is possible? I was hoping there was a setting in the workload for the endpoint where you could turn it off, because I have found no where in admin where there is a setting to filter it.
