How to Send an Email when added a News Post in SharePoint Online site
Hello,
My question and current issue is- i am composing a sharepoint where i need to include a particular person to only receive email notification once i include their email as owner of the particular subject +add new template.
I can`t use alerts tab, as i do not want to alert all people using the sharepoint each time- just one person in particular, because those vary.
I created a column with settings to enter the email of a person, but when i include my email for testing- i receive no email.
I see as workaround only option is to "share" the subjected topic with a person. However, i am pretty sure that there should be a setting to send email to the person "assigned to" automatically.
This is in "new experience" view, column type is "People or Group".
Zinaida you can do this with a flow in Power Automate. The trigger would be a SharePoint "When an item is created or modified" trigger. You'd then have a condition that would check whether you'd added anything into the Owner column. If you hadn't then nothing would happen. But if you had entered the owner's email address in the Owner column then it would grab that and use it to send an email to the Owner with any other data you needed to send them.
