Sharepoint site "Alert Me" Notification going away, Need better simpler way to do the same thing

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 5
HI 

I have a SharePoint site with 28 to 30 different libraries (cities & regions) that have files added to them twice a month. I need something easy and simple to replace the "Alert Me" notification that is going way, as I have Sales that needs to utilize those newly added files to make calls. 

When we had the "Alert Me" Notification, Sales can sign themselves up by going into the library and hit the button to alert themselves when a new file is added. However, “Alert Me” is going away, I have tried the integrate > Power automate > create a Flow method, but it seems to be very lengthy to ask my Salespeople to do. I need my Sales to be selling not trying to jump through hoops to do their job.

Is there an easier way to create a notification like process where whenever I add a new file at a specific library and my sales that are specific to that library will be alerted when the new file is added?
 
I tried using the following template when using the integrate > Power automate > create a Flow method, I even asked a Sales to run through it with me and He got lost doing it. I really need a simple way to get this done so I can do my job of supporting my Sales team. Thanks.

    Recent changes to SharePoint without alternatives are extremely frustrating.
     
    Are you able to use SharePoint Rules? This article describes how:
     

     

    Sorry to paste an image in for the instructions but it seemed like the only way to keep the formatting.
