I have a list of person with the same alert needs. This alerts are listening document from differents locations. I dont want to change all those alerts after every changes on this list of person. Do you have a solution ?

(The best solutions whould be to set a sharepoint group as receivers in the alert configuration but it doesn't work).

  • I have not tried this, but workaround can be to use designer workflow to send mail to SharePoint group. https://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/138529/send-email-using-sharepoint-designer-to-the-users-in-person-and-group-field – P S May 28 '18 at 09:42

Since the SharePoint Group has no email address, the alert email cannot send to the members of the SP group.

As an alternative, you can create a Mail-enabled security group in Office 365 Admin center: Groups tab->Groups->Add a group button. enter image description here

Then in the set alert page, assign the “Send Alert to” this mail-enabled security group.

  • This is too tricky, my users have to do this. I tought it could just send email foreach person in the group... – Hyro May 29 '18 at 07:21
