      Problem Definition

      The SOAP API (XML/RPC) had a minor revision element that could be set to true in order to disable notify watcher. There is no equivalent in the REST API, so any mass updates performed using the REST API will spam Confluence users.

      Suggested Solution

      3 possibly solutions:

      • Add an argument that can be used in the REST request to disable Notify Watchers
      • Set the default behavior when using REST to disable Notify Watchers
      • Add a setting in the Confluence administration panel to either enable or disable Notify Watchers when using Remote APIs

      Workaround

      There is no workaround. Any mass edits performed using the REST API will send notifications to watchers.
