People/Group Notifcation

Hi,

 

I have a column in an MS List which is of people/group type. I have it set to accept multiple people and it works fine.

 

Is there any config i can do, so to the column so that when people are tagged they receive an email notification?

 

Thanks

    There are two approaches:

     

    Approach 1

     

    • You can create rules two send notification using following steps
      • Click on Automate -> Create Rules -> When Column Changes
      •  

      • Click on When Column Changes and do following configuration (In below screen shot "Users" is my multi allow user column)
    • This approach does have following limitation
      • It will send notification to every users added in fields whenever you change something in your user field (either adding user or removing user)
      • We can't have control in notification content here

     

    Approach 2

     

    • you can use power automate flow using "When item is created or modified" trigger & check if User field changed or not based on getting previous version of item and then you can send notification to user
