Setting Up Daily Alerts from SharePoint

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by SH-03021507-0

Hi,

I have been a user of the SharePoint/OneDrive alerts for years, and I am sad they are going away. I need assistance on how to create a Power Automation that works just like the SharePoint alerts. I spent over 30 minutes trying to create one and ended up being frustrated because it's not as user-friendly as the regular alerts were. It would be helpful if someone could tell me the step-by-step guide on how to create daily alerts so I can see what was modified in certain SharePoint folders.

I already tried asking Copilot, and it wasn't helpful. Please advise. Thanks!

    You'll need to explain how the current alert it set up in order to try and duplicate it. Without that, there are just too many variations to provide you with step-by-step instructions. I would suggest you start building a flow to meet your needs, then when you have a specific question about how to do some, post a question that is not as broad as what you are currently asking. Also, have you tried setting up a rule to replace the alert? We've found that rules can replace the majority of alerts.
