Can the Carter notifications be turned off temporarily for bulk lead ownership changes?

Hi, Scott. Yes, this can be done by turning off (disabling) the template that’s used to notify your users when there’s a lead owner change. To do this, navigate to Apps>Manage Nudge Templates, and under Status, disable the slider alongside the Lead owner change template. Hope this helps!
