How to Detect if "Notify Watchers" Was Checked in an Atlassian Connect Webhook?

We’re using the page_updated webhook in an Atlassian Connect app to detect when a page is updated.

We need to determine whether the Notify watchers checkbox was checked when the page was saved (see screenshots for the legacy and new editor):

I initially expected this setting to toggle the minor edit flag in the page version, but that doesn’t seem to be the case:

I’ve checked the API and webhook payload but haven’t found any indication of whether the checkbox was set.

Does anyone know if there’s a way to determine this? Any pointers would be appreciated!

Hi Sebastian,

Thank you so much for your feedback. This information was not previously available via the page_updated webhook. With that, we have decided to quickly deliver this functionality!

Within the next day or two, you should be able to determine whether the Notify watchers was checked in the page_updated webhook payload by looking at what is returned by suppressNotifications

It will return:

  • "suppressNotifications": false if Notify watchers was checked
  • "suppressNotifications": true if Notify watchers was not checked

Thank you for this. It was a great experience being at our first Team’s.

This is a huge help to us and our customers. I will test next week.

Can confirm the suppressNotifcations flag is now being send. Many thanks for this.

Unfortunately the suppressNotifications flag seems to be still missing from the blog_updated event. It works perfectly for page_updated tough. Any chance off adding it there too? Thank you for your time and help.
