 * Hey [@flaviendev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flaviendev/)
    I just posted
   the same question and afterwards I stumbled on your “Question” topic. It would
   be indeed nice if only the failed update emails will be sent.

 * Hello,
 * Sure, there two ways to disable email notifications: with a constant in your `
   wp-config` file, or using a filter in your theme’s `functions.php` file.
 * **Using constants**
 * Disable plugins auto-updates email notifications:
    `define( 'WP_DISABLE_PLUGINS_AUTO_UPDATE_EMAIL',
   false );`
 * Disable themes auto-updates email notifications:
    `define( 'WP_DISABLE_THEMES_AUTO_UPDATE_EMAIL',
   false );`
 * **Using filter hooks**
 * Disable plugins auto-updates email notifications:
 *     ```
       function wporg_disable_plugins_auto_update_email() {
           return false;
       }
       add_filter( 'send_plugins_auto_update_email', 'wporg_disable_plugins_auto_update_email' );
       ```
   
 * Disable themes auto-updates email notifications:
 *     ```
       function wporg_disable_themes_auto_update_email() {
           return false;
       }
       add_filter( 'send_themes_auto_update_email', 'wporg_disable_themes_auto_update_email' );
       ```
   
 * Cheers,
    Jb

 * [@nesoor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nesoor/) successful and failed 
   auto-updates are merged into only one email, to avoid flooding mailboxes.
 * That being said you can hook on the notification emails and send only failed 
   updates, using `wp_autoupdates_notifications_email` filter.
