Disabling Follower Email Notifications in Zendesk
Can I disable email notifications for followers in Zendesk?
Unfortunately, there is no direct way to disable email notifications for followers in Zendesk. Followers automatically receive notifications when comments are added to tickets they are following.
The only way to stop these notifications is to disable the 'Enable followers' feature entirely. However, this also means that agents will not be able to follow tickets. Alternatively, you can customize the email template for followers to control the content of the notifications they receive.
