Disable or Suppress Email Notifications Generated by Linked Folder Synchronizations

When a linked folder is created in Workfront and contains a large number of existing assets, the synchronization process can generate hundreds or even thousands of individual email notifications based on users' notification preferences. While the current behavior may be working as designed, these large-scale notification events can quickly overwhelm user inboxes and create a poor user experience.

We would like to see an option to automatically suppress or disable email notifications that are generated as a result of linked folder synchronization activities. Ideally, administrators could configure this behavior globally or at the linked folder level to prevent mass notification events while still preserving important user-facing notifications for normal day-to-day work.

This enhancement would significantly improve the usability and scalability of linked folders, reduce inbox fatigue, and help organizations more broadly adopt Workfront integrations and asset management workflows without creating unnecessary notification noise.
