Create alert for subscription remainder

Question

Hi all,
could somebody share about how to create subscription alert from ECC 6.0 (i'm using IS-Media Sales and Distribution), and display alert in CRM 2007 dashboard. For example if subscription is for 1 year for w eekly magazine and remaining weeks are 4 weeks, then something in CRM or ECC triggered to create alert in CRM 2007 so sales admin will see that subscriber will remain 4 weeks (editions) in the next delivery...
thank you if someone could discuss this...
thanks...

Hi GSS1,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create an alert for a user at a list.
You can use the following PowerShell command to achieve it:
$SPsite = Get-SPSite "http://SharePointSite.com"
$SPweb=$SPsite.Rootweb
$SPlist=$SPweb.lists["Shared documents"]
$SPuser = $SPweb.EnsureUser('Domain\Salaudeen')
$SPnewAlert = $SPuser.Alerts.Add()
$SPnewAlert.Title = "My Custom Alert"
$SPnewAlert.AlertType=[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertType]::List
$SPnewAlert.List = $SPlist
$SPnewAlert.DeliveryChannels = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertDeliveryChannels]::Email
$SPnewAlert.EventType = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEventType]::Add
$SPnewAlert.AlertFrequency = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertFrequency]::Immediate
$SPnewAlert.Update()
$SPweb.Dispose()
$SPSite.Dispose()
Based on your health analyzer rule, you can change EventType. You can also change the DeliveryChannels option to SMS  and AlertFrequenct option to Daily.
