Sharepoint List email notification when a field is modified
Hi
We have a Sharepoint list that has a "owner" field that is a PeoplePicker.
When a new enter is added to the list this "owner" field is empty and only added at a latter date
When the Owner field is populate or changed we want a email tot go out to that user
We don't want a email going out if any other field is changed - anyone know if this possible?
Thanks

Pn1995 For your requirements, you can use Rules in SharePoint Online/Microsoft Lists. Create a new rule by selecting "A column changes" option & configure it like below:
Where "Name" is a person or group column. For more information about rules feature in lists, check this article: Rules in SharePoint Online/Microsoft Lists
Alternately, you can use power automate flow using "When item is created or modified" trigger & check if Owner field changed or not using "Get changes for list item" action & send an email to owner email address.

- Thanks - i didn't know about rules
You can't however modify the email notificaton text
Do you know of anyway to do this and customise the email notification?Pn1995 to do this you would need to have a flow in Power Automate as suggested by ganeshsanap . For example we usually add our company logo and other information into a flow and rarely, if ever, use alerts.
