Set a different expiration date for files FOR sharepoint
HI I have a document library I want to set different expiration date for files Send an alert to the e-mail when this date is reached THANKS
What do you mean by expiration? Do you mean retention of documents? Or sharing of documents?
ChrisWebbTech I don't mean that, but I do mean
For example, I have a commercial registration certificate that expires after 6 months, for example
I want to set a date and get an email alert when that date comesIt would be similar to this, but instead of "Created" It would be a custom date column on your library like "Expires on"
ChrisWebbTech Exactly what I want
That I receive an email on these dates on Outlook
- You can look into retention and disposition of content, but that's pretty complex and requires labeling of all documents etc.
But it sounds like you need to setup tasks or something based on that document. In this case I would have a library with a follow up metadata column and then create a flow using power automate that runs on a daily schedule and e-mail or create a task or whatever other action when that date matches the date you set in that column for the file.
Laura Rogers and Shane Young have some good content on Youtube for learning flow etc. if you want to look into going down that route.
