Is there a way to post to Zendesk and not have it trigger an email if the user has selected "Follow"? I am adding older notes to the non-US pages and I dont want to spam people but they do need to be added. Appreciate any pointers!
Post without Notifying

You might try publishing the articles with the "Visible to" field set to "Agents and managers". This will prevent the notification to end-users. Agents will still be notified if they are following.
Once published, go back to the article settings and change the "Visible to" value to "Everyone" and save.
I tested this today and it seems to work. I would suggest testing this with an end-user account to be sure. You can also create a new user segment for this if you do not want to spam your agents.
Sorry to hear that @Keith Maltese. I was hoping this would work for you. This was the only other option I could come up with. It seemed to work for me on two new articles I created in the sandbox. I never saw the notifications come to my end-user account. While I did see a notification for two other articles that were published to "Everyone".
The option that was presented to me when I asked about this same issue was to deactivate the help center temporarily, add the articles, then reactivate the help center.
I was asking for some kind of "maintenance mode" that would allow you to keep the help center up while you did your work and prevent notifications from being triggered.
