 * Hi!
 * Would it be possible for Wordfence to not throw an email notification before 
   updating itself automatically?
 * Medium Severity Problems:
    * The Plugin “Wordfence Security” needs an upgrade(
   7.4.0 -> 7.4.1).
 * Essentially, if automatic update is enabled, there’s no reason to send this notification
   because the automatic update will fix this immediately after the message is sent.
 * This causes a ton of “plugin needs an upgrade” messages every time a Wordfence
   patch comes out because I have Wordfence installed on a lot of systems. I love
   it.
 * Naturally, if the automatic update has failed or isn’t enabled at all, it would
   be entirely reasonable to send this.

 * Hey [@gtapsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gtapsupport/),
 * Thanks for the feedback!
 * Typically, we’ll notify withing 24 hours of an available plugin, theme, or WordPress
   update. But I completely understand the redundancy. I can share this with the
   developers and suggest a whitelist for plugin updates that are scheduled automatically,
   or for other reasons.
 * Please let us know if you have any other thoughts.
 * Thanks,
 * Gerroald

 * Hello [@wfgerald](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfgerald/) good afternoon.
   
   That would be really useful. My mailbox is full, because I use “central” and 
   I have over 80 connected sites

 * Hey [@gtapsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gtapsupport/),
 * I just wanted to update you to let you know that I’ve filed a feature request
   for this. I don’t have a timeline on when/if it’ll be implemented, but the case
   number is 9115.
 * Thanks,
