SharePoint Folder Name Alert for New or Modified Folder Names

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by DeeRamos 1

Hello!

 

I need to receive an email notification whenever a folder is created or the folder name is modified on SharePoint, providing details of both:

-the new folder name, or

-the old folder name with the updated name.

 

Can I set up alerts on SharePoint folders, not files?

 

Please let me know if this is possible and, if so, how to go about setting it up.

Thanks,

    I am sorry but the Answer is No, there are no triggers specifically for Folder changes.
