Turn on notifications for added files

Hi, I'd like to turn on notifications for when member of my team change/add a file to a channel. Is this possible? Thanks a lot!

  • Yes! From the files tab in that channel in that Team -> Open in SharePoint! In the top menu click “Notify me” ( if not seen click the ... for more options ) here you can set notifications on different changes in that space.

    You can also use Power Automate and create a flow for this. There’s templates doing this also and you can alter them to fit your scenario. You can reach that from the portal.office.com or directly from SharePoint

      Hi all, just wondering if there is a way to get these notifications solely in Teams (NOT in Sharepoint)? We use Microsoft Outlook desktop version as our e-mail service, but the notification do not come through - they only show on the web based 365 version which we don't tend to use! Thank you

      adam deltinger do you happen to know if it is possible to create an alert for when a new tab is added in a team? For instance, my team would like to be able to add an Excel spreadsheet in a new tab and have an email go out to all team members when that is done. I tried this in Power Automate, but it seems like the closest option is to email members any time a message is written in that team.

       

      Thank you

      the only Deliver Methods i found on the Sharepoint page were 

      - email

      - sms

       

      It would be nice if one could select

      - channel post

       

      With a automatic hook to the channel the user started the experience from.

       

      Does anyone knows if this is in the roadmap (to avoid having to build an integration manually)?
