Alerts set on alibrary folder not working
Hi All I used to have a perfectly simple and working alert on a particulat folder (and its subfolders) of a particular Library on a SharePoint site : for this folder, i created an email alert for an...
I've seen these alerts end up in spam filters etc. in the past, you might want to investigate there first to see if you are in fact getting them sent, but for whatever reason blocked. I know you get the alert setup e-mail but that one is actually different than the e-mails that come in.
Also keep in mind those alerts are scoped at the library level not just that particular folder, but that's irrelevant since nothing seems to be coming in :).
You do have SharePoint Online and should have flow as well, I would suggest just setting up a flow as a work around which will also alert you as well and it uses your own e-mail account to alert you so no issues with spam.
Should be fairly easy to setup a flow with the when files change trigger send an e-mail.

ChrisWebbTechHi Sir
No i have nothing in my spam folder… :-(
It must be noted that according to some tutorial on internet, and according to what was working a few months back, it is possible to set alers on a sub-folder only and all its sub-folders and files.
I will have a look at the work flow you mention. Thanks.
