    email error Emails warning about changes to the Administrator

    Hi!

    How I can do to make these emails are not sent or sent to an email address different from the store?

    Thank you in advance for your help

    Greetings.

    Not sure why you want to hide important alerts from the storeowner.

    But, you can set the address for those emails by going to Admin->Configuration->Email Options, and change "Store Owner Email Address".
    NOTE: Changing that will also affect a few other things too.

    Hi!

    The problem is that whoever leads the store is a person and when I get these emails he gets scared, he believes that there's something wrong, so I wanted to try to change that these emails were sent to another address or cancel, not sent.

    Yes, but if I change the primary email address, they will have no orders, messages, etc.

    Is there no way to make the ads send another email or avoid being sent?

    Thanks for your help. Greetings.

    They are not ads.
    They are alerts that someone made a change. And they SHOULD make you sit up and take note.
    Changing the software to send them to some random place to someone other than the storeowner means the storeowner is kept in the dark about alterations made that could indicate hacker activity if they weren't made by a properly authorized person.
    The storeowner *is supposed to* pay attention to those, and in the case of you doing admin settings changes on his behalf, then he should always be checking with you to be certain that those changes were intended. He is right to be alarmed, and he should definitely contact you to confirm ... every time.
    This is especially important in a digital world where you don't have to physically walk into his store, in plain sight, to make a change to his cash register. Essentially that's what you're doing, so he has a right (and a need, and a *responsibility*) to know about those changes.

    And, no, there is no switch to turn them all off, because a hacker would easily find that kind of switch and maliciously cover their tracks. That's exactly the opposite of what these alerts are for in the first place.

    For that reason it requested aid, first, to change the destination email to be informed but to send it to another email and, if it was not possible to unsubscribe even at the risk you mention because it is out of necessity, is a case very special.

    Thanks for your help.

    If the intent is to modify settings in order to see how ZC responds, then the correct path to go is to create a development site separate from the production site. Then the email address can be whatever is desired. When the changes have been determined to be necessary for the live site, then communicate with the store owner about what is being changed, why and the effect before making the change(s) and the concerns are then addressed and no issues.
