Question
What is the organization subscription notification within the ticket events? How can I disable the notifications?
Answer
When viewing the events of a ticket, there is an Organization subscription notification:
These are ticket notifications end users receive when they are members of a shared organization and follow an organization under My activities within the help center Customer Portal.
To prevent these notifications on tickets, update the organization to no longer be shared.
To unshare an organization
- Edit the organization's settings by following the steps in the article Editing an organization.
- On the organization's detailed view, select Can view own tickets only in the Users field.
This will prevent end users within that organization from seeing and receiving notifications on the organization's tickets.

Thanks i u l i a !
I noticed one of our partners mentioning that they've been getting emails for tickets that they're not cc'd on recently - and troubleshooting led me to this article. So first off - thank you for creating the article!!
I had a few questions - wondered if you'd be able to help out please?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Tim,
Let me reply on behalf of my colleague!
1- This feature to follow and unfollow organizations requests has been available for a number of years :)
2- If your partners want to start getting those notifications, they will have to specifically 'Follow' that organization from the 'My Activities' section after they've logged in to the Help Centre portal.
3- That's right, by 'unfollowing' the organization from the 'My Activities' section, the user will stop all those notifications but will still be able to view those ticket updates from the Help Centre portal.
Hope this helps to answer your queries, but let me know if it doesn't!

Hello if I understand well the process,
If someone in a shared organization decided to follos his tickets organization this follow up cannot been removed except by removing it for the full organization.
In our case, for an organization that need to be shared we removed from one user at the user level the ability to see all the organization tickets.
Despite that change he continues to receive Organization Subscription notification and continue to be able to see the Organization tickets.
Can you advise?
Best regards

Hello Franck,
Just to confirm, permission at the organization level is still set at "Can view all org tickets"?

Zsa Trias - We have an issue where a user will be a member of multiple organisations, and follow all of them. When they receive an email, they have no way of knowing which organisation the email is about? Is there a trigger we can amend at all to include the organisation as a placeholder?

Hi Dave Tonks,
You can add the ticket organization placeholder to your trigger notification's email body to help your customer or requester know the organization of their email.
See Zendesk Support placeholder reference for a complete list of placeholders.
If you are referring to the Organization Subscription notification, I'm afraid that the notification cannot be edited or customized. I've taken a look and found that other users are discussing similar needs here. You can up-vote that original post and I encourage you to add your detailed use case to the conversation.

Hi Arianne Batiles, Thanks for your reply.
If a user belongs to multiple organisations, how can the user know which organisation the email or ticket is regarding? From what I can see, even following the link to the ticket doesn't show the organisation?

Hi Dave Tonks,
Yes; hence, we can reflect the organization in the trigger email notifications by adding the ticket organization placeholder. This placeholder shows the assigned organization for a specific ticket.

Hi Arianne Batiles, but you just said that Organization subscription notification doesn't allow customisation? I'm really sorry if I'm missing something here?

Is it possible to exclude certain tickets from the subscription.
For example tickets with a certain tag.
Why would we want to exclude: there are auto generated tickets and are to inform our support proactivly, now they also receive these e-mails.

I'm afraid that it is not possible to create an exception rule on the organization subscription notifications as they are not controlled by triggers at all. As long as the customer is a member of a shared organization and subscribed to that organization, the customer will be notified via the Organization subscription notification when a ticket is created under their subscribed organization.
I encourage you to create a new post in the General Product Feedback topic in our community to engage with other users who have similar needs and discuss possible workarounds. Conversations with a high level of engagement ultimately get flagged for product managers to review when they go through roadmap planning.
