Email notifications for SharePoint Online
Has anyone previously disabled email notifications for a SharePoint Online Team site or at the SPO tenant level during a migration? If so, please share your experience.

Yes, and below was what I tried and work before:
Tenant-Level Suppression via PowerShell
Admins use the Set-SPOTenant cmdlet to suppress various notifications:
Set-SPOTenant -EnableAutoNewsDigest $false Set-SPOTenant -NotificationsInSharePointEnabled $false Set-SPOTenant -NotifyOwnersWhenInvitationsAccepted $false Set-SPOTenant -NotifyOwnersWhenItemsReshared $false
These settings help mute:
- News digest emails
- Notifications triggered by sharing or group membership changes
- Owner alerts when items are reshared or invitations accepted
Site-Level Workarounds
Some admins avoid triggering alerts by:
- Using PnP PowerShell or SDKs to create content silently
- Avoiding user assignments until post-migration
- Temporarily removing owners or disabling group email features
Post-Migration Cleanup
After the migration, they re-enable notifications to restore normal behavior:
Set-SPOTenant -EnableAutoNewsDigest $true
