How to set alerts for SharePoint folders

Microsoft has a built-in method of setting this up, so it's simple, and anyone can set this up on their own.
  1. Navigate to the folder you want to set alerts on.
  2. Click the 3 dots next to the folder name:
  3. Select Alert Me.

  1. It will then open an Alert Me options window where you can configure the following options:
  • Alert trigger
  • Where you want the alerts to go.
  • What type of changes do you want to be alerted of
  • Then Save. You can find that here. From there you can see what alerts you have already set up and/or delete them if needed.
