Add option to disable email notifications if user has enabled subscription

[MarinescuLucia]

A user asked if it's possible to disable the email notifications that are sent to the admin when a person subscribes to the form from the maintenance/coming soon page. Maybe we could add an option to be able to do this.

As an alternative solution, I think we could create a doc explaining how to achieve this with custom code.

Suggested here.

Hello @MarinescuLucia,

I can't find a filter to skip the admin notification, it appears that the otter block plugin handles admin notifications.

@arinaturcu @HardeepAsrani Do you have any idea to skip the admin notification?

Thanks

@girishpanchal30 No, we always send email as we don't store them anywhere, just send them straight away to the user. It makes sense to have them if the user is using the form only for a subscription. Will move this ticket to Otter repository.

Thanks @MarinescuLucia for reporting this.

A note when working on this: user should be made aware that we don't store emails anywhere so only enable it if they are using it for subscription and don't want to get notified.

@girishpanchal30 If needed, one can disable it site-wide using https://github.com/Codeinwp/otter-blocks/blob/master/inc/server/class-form-server.php#L110 but that's not ideal.

@Soare-Robert-Daniel We can put this on hold for now and we can approach it later when we work on the admin dashboard with mails.

@arinaturcu I think you can group this in with #1463, maybe some option in Form Block to select if they want notification or storing (or both), with both being enabled by default.

Since we now have Database option as a saving location, we can close this. @HardeepAsrani

@Soare-Robert-Daniel This was related to a free user who was using the form for just subscription users to newsletter and not wanting to get the alerts.

[Soare-Robert-Daniel]

So, should we add a special button for it? Like a toggle for notifications?

[HardeepAsrani]

@Soare-Robert-Daniel One option to not save it anywhere in the drop-down, with selecting it showing a help text and explaining the situation where it can be helpful.
