# Suppress notifications

For some API calls, you can block email and webhook notifications by
including a `box-notifications: off` header with the API call.

```sh cURL theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.box.com/2.0/folders \
    -H "box-notifications: off" \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN" \
    -d '{
      "name": "New Folder",
      "parent": {
        "id": "0"
      }
    }'
```

As an example, this can be used for a virus-scanning tool to download copies
every user's files in an enterprise without every collaborator on the file
receiving an email informing them of the download.

All actions will still appear in users updates feed and the audit-logs.

<Warning>
