Exclude yourself from notification emails of events you started
Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Azure DevOps Server 2019
When you create a team role-based notification subscription, you can choose the option, Skip initiator. The initiator of the event that triggers the email doesn't receive the notification.
For example, if your team has a subscription for a pull request created event, the user who creates the pull request in the project doesn't receive this notification email. Other members of the team receive the notification email.
This option is good for users who don't want notifications of events that they trigger. However, some users might prefer to receive the same notifications as their teammates. Let your team decide which option is best.
