How to Restore Alerts for a Site collection? [SOS]

Hi there,

 

We are using SharePoint Online. One of our site admins accidentally deleted all the alerts set up by different users on different libraries, folders and documents. We don't have any information on the deleted alerts or what type they were (immediate, weekly, daily etc). We really want all these alerts back.

Is there any way that I could get these alerts back or at least the information about these alerts so that I can create the same alerts again? I can work with CSOM, PowerShell or anything that solves the problem. I just want these alerts back! if it is possible. 

  • If this is SharePoint Online, there is no way to restore this alerts unless you open a support ticket to Microsoft to restore that Site Collection

      Well this is a SharePoint Online Site collection... I will try opening a ticket as you have pointed out.

        Be careful, if the SC is restored, any changes to documents, pages and list items since the last backup will be lost
