+Created a background script to prevent unnecessary notifications from being sent out. 
+It helps in managing the volume of emails being sent so that we do not send the notifications even by mistake. 
+This script is mostly used in dev or uat to avoid any notifications being sent from lower instances.
+
+We are querying the sys_email table to find all the emails with below queries:
+--> emails with state as "ready"
+--> emails that were created on today (optional query, if not added all the mails with state as "ready" will be considered for getting ignored.) 
+
+Post query we are setting as below:
+--> state of the email to "ignored"
+--> type of the email to "send-ignored"
+
+After setting the fields we are updating the records.
+
+Please be cautious while using the script in Production environment.
