Alert me when items change on list - SharePoint Online

Is there anyway users can select more than one radio button on this page?

Some users want to select

All changes

or

both New items are added and Existing items are modified.

Thank you

  • TamiRhodes You cannot select multiple options here, but you can create multiple alerts with different settings for single SharePoint list.

     

    Also, when you select All changes option, New items are added and Existing items are modified options included in it by default.

     

    For having both New items are added and Existing items are modified alerts, you have to create two different alerts on same SharePoint list.

     

    Also, if you are using SharePoint online list, you can check if Rules feature helps you in any way: Rules in SharePoint Online/Microsoft Lists

    TamiRhodes those choices are single select only, but you can build a flow in Power Automate to alert you whenever an item is created or modified in a list.

      I don't want the flow to email/alert me on this particular list.
      There are hundreds of users who get an alert on this list. Who want different kinds of alerts.
      Some of the users only want to get an alert when New Items are Added and Existing items are modified or All changes.
      I have watched some videos on how to create a flow. I get the gist of it.
      If I create a flow called All Changes then I would have to add all of the user's email addresses to the flow so they get the email on All Changes?
      If I create a flow called New Items are added and Existing items are modified I would have to add all of the user's email addresses to the flow so they get the email on New Items are added and Existing items are modified?
      Is that correct?
      Thank you for your help.

        TamiRhodes it would be much better & easier to maintain if you put the users in appropriate Office 365 groups.

      I have not used Power Automate before. If I build a flow will that flow work for everyone who has alerts on that list? Where is the best place to learn about Power Automate?
      Thank you.
