Microsoft
MicrosoftWe're investigating the permission requirements and will provide Power Automate samples and guidance that will help with this transition. Regarding the default environment, this is a known issue that's being worked on.
I had chat with Copilot about all of this and this is what your Copilot suggests.
As someone who creates educational content and tutorials for the SharePoint community, I want to respectfully raise a concern about the timing and support surrounding the retirement of SharePoint Alerts.
The announcement was made without the availability of Power Automate templates, migration tools, or detailed guidance—resources that are essential for helping users transition smoothly. This has left many in the community, especially non-technical users, without a clear path forward.
While I understand the strategic direction toward modern tools like Power Automate and SharePoint Rules, the transition has been made significantly more difficult by this lack of readiness.
To support the broader community of users and educators, I respectfully urge Microsoft to:
This change affects a wide range of users, from enterprise admins to everyday collaborators. Timely support and transparency from Microsoft would go a long way in ensuring a smooth and successful transition.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
