Want to automate email population when specific list item details updated
I've created trackers using SharePoint lists. I want to be able to automate the population of emails to specific people to include specific column details from a SP list item to send at times when a specific column's drop down selection changes to a specific selection, or when certain fields are populated for the first time. Is this possible? If so, how do I do that? I've looked through the Alerts and Workflow instructions and it is all way too basic to meet my needs because it only sends an alert when anything in the item is updated, not when specific updates are made. Also, neither seems to auto populate the email with specific details pulled from the list item that is being updated. I don't know if this is possible, or if I maybe need another program or plug-in to work with it. I'm sure I can get my IT to give me permission to download and use additional programs or plug-ins, but I don't know what I need right now or if my vision is even possible. I think we are using SharePoint 2016, but I am not sure how to confirm that. Looking for help from anyone who has successfully put something like this together! Thanks!Can a SharePoint alert be applied to and work for a specific file that is located inside a folder?
I have a user that is setting up alerts (and receiving the confirmation that the alert is set up) but then is not receiving the actual alert notifications. The alert is set up for a specific file that is located in a folder for a library. Is is possible that the alerts don't work when the file is inside a folder? I have moved the file out of the folder and tested to find that I receive the notification and, then, moved it back into a folder after which I do not receive the notification. I also noticed that each time a create an alert for the file, when I check the User Alerts log via Site Settings, I see 2 entries...2 alert instances...for the one file. If I delete one of them, they both disappear. So I am beginning to think that alerts just don't work right when the file for which the alert is created is located inside a folder. But, I would like my hunch to be confirmed or, if I'm wrong, I need help to get it to work right. Thank you.
Use Flow to send Email alerts when files are added to a SharePoint site
Hi, I know how to set up alerts if a file is added to a specific library on a site but is there a way to use Flow to send email alerts if ANY library on a particular site has files added? The reason I ask is I have a site with 94 separate libraries and I don't want to set up individual Flows for each library, just 1 Flow that triggers when a file is added to ANY of the 94 libraries and sends details of the file that has been added and which library it is in. Thanks Confused831

Hi all, I get the following error when trying to set up an alert in a SharePoint Online library: Your organization's policies don't allow you to share with these users. Go to External Sharing in the Office 365 admin center to enable it. External sharing is definitely enabled. I receive this on multiple site collections. Possibly related to another issue I have been having with sharing lists with external users? Anyone got any ideas what is happening here?! Thanks, Andy.
