Create SharePoint 2010 Alerts that email to SharePoint Group Members

I have created a SharePoint Group.
I have placed individuals in the SharePoint group assigning them access to a sub-site.
I need to set up alerts so library changes, announcements, calendar event items etc cause emails to be sent members of SharePoint group.
Please provide directions for implementing a solution utilizing SharePoint designer workflow.
Thanks,

Hi,
SharePoint Designer has send an email Action for sending email notification to users or groups, just create a list based workflow or reusable workflow and then publish the workflow to start when there is a create or change event. Here is a link for reference

  • How to create SharePoint: Group By on more than 2 columns in a view (SP 2013)

    Hi All,
    I want to create Group by column on more than 2 columns in a view in SharePoint 213 list.
    The group It for CurrentUser,Yearly,Monthly andWeekly.
    How can I achieve It?
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to group by on more than 2 columns in a view.
    You can use Data View Web Part in SharePoint Designer and add some changes & additions.
    For more information, you can refer to:

  • MS SharePoint 2010 Designer Workflow Email - Enhanced Rich Text Field look-up values on HTML email have large spaces

    MS InfoPath 2010 form with RTF (Rich Text Fields)
    MS SharePoint 2010 Custom Library
    MS SharePoint 2010 Designer Workflow Send Email
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-designer-help/send-e-mail-in-a-workflow-HA010239042.aspx
    https://www.nothingbutsharepoint.com/sites/eusp/pages/creating-html-emails-with-spd-workflows.aspx
    Hi all of the above work, our question is how to control the RTF (Rich Text Field) look up values to the InfoPath 2010 form in the HTML email?
    How to FORMAT the RTF look up value? in the HTML email
    EXAMPLE
    we have a InfoPath 2010 form published in the SharePoint 2010 custom list library there are 5 RTF fields (Notes1, Notes2, Notes3, Notes4, Notes5) there are other plain text fields, date fields, and other field types in the form
    We use a HTML table to make the email look like the InfoPath form, so when the users fill out the form and they get the email notification everything looks the same.
    Our problem is the EXTRA LINE SPACE in the RTF look up values
    We want to remove any leading spaces, and line spaces between HTML table cells
    Our Workflow has the HTML in a Workflow variable, as you know it does not support remote CSS it has to be in-line style for any formatting we want all cells to have
    valign="top" the email should align at the top of the cell, all field types do except the RTF look up values they make the email look bad and they contain a lot of white space.
    Please test this in your enviroment 
    <table>
    <tr><td>Title:</td><td>[%Current Item:Title%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes1%]</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Created by:</td><td>[%Current Item:CreatedBy%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes2%]</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Date Created:</td><td>[%Current Item:Created%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes3%]</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Modified by:</td><td>[%Current Item:ModifiedBy%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes4%]</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Date Modified:</td><td>[%Current Item:Modified%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes5%]</td></tr>

    Hi IssackB,
    perhaps you may try this article:
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/f8fa2a11-9f74-4dd2-b277-21ce872fdcb2/can-we-add-rich-text-editor-to-the-sharepoint-designer-2010-workflow?forum=sharepointcustomizationprevious
    there are some notes that perhaps you may check:
    Use the same font for all the controls to ensure consistent spacing between rows.
    Choose Size from the Format menu, and then choose To Fit from the menu that appears. This adjusts the size of each control, depending on the font set for the data that appears
    in the control.
    NOTE: The Print Preview and Output To commands use different algorithms for calculating text width; therefore, the text may occupy more or less
    space in the RTF file.
    Reduce the amount of blank space above and below the report controls. Any vertical
    space between the controls is converted to whole lines
    in the RTF file. For example, a
    space of .02 inches can increase to .1667 inches in the
    RTF file.
    Make sure controls on the same output row are not too close to each other or overlapping. This can cause the Output To command to omit the controls or to align the columns incorrectly
    in the RTF file.
    Use the Align command from the Format menu to ensure that a row of controls is aligned properly on the report. If a row of controls is not aligned properly, the Output To command may place the controls
    in different rows, causing extra blank
    spacein the RTF file. 
    and please have a check there are updates for exchange 2013 and will be available with the upcoming release of CU4 for Exchange 2013, that stated the format rtf was saved instead HTML. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2862739/en-us

  • SharePoint 2010 email enabled groups do not deliver messages to group members

    I configured my SP2010 farm to send and receive email propperly.  How do I know this?
    Because I receive alerts from SharePoint all the time.
    Because I can email enable a library and I can send documents to it successfully
    Because I can look at AD and see that the contacts have been created in the appropriate OU
    So the problem is only with the SharePoint groups and corresponding AD Distribution List.
    I can assign an email addres to a SharePoint group from the SP interface
    I can verify that the Universal Group is created in AD as expected
    BUT, email sent to the group email address is not sent to the members of the group. I also know this doesn't happen because the distribution list in AD has no members.  If I add a member to it manually from the AD Computer and Users console then the
    member get the message.
    The bottom line is that SharePoint is not pupulating or updating the Distribution List in AD as it should. 
    I can rule out permissions because the the DL is created and the FARM Account and APP Pool account both have FULL Control over the OU where those contacts and Groups are created.
    Does any one have a light to shed on this?
    Thanks a lot,
    Fernando

    Great article here:
    http://joyknows.wordpress.com/2011/01/12/sharepoint-alerts-not-working-for-group-recipients/
    Unchecking “Require that all senders are authenticated” on the mail enabled group in Exchange Management Console, allowed Alerts to come through to AD groups using
    SharePoint.
    I struggled with this but the steps in the post resolved it for me.
    Thanks.

  • This web site must be created on a server that is running Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation. Please choose another Location

    Hi all, I installed microsoft sharepoint designer 2010. It was working perfectly up until yesterday when I create a new site, it gave me an error that said " This web site must be created on a server that is running Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation.
    Please choose another Location " Now I can't create any sharepoint site and it freaks me out. I tried repairing, unistalling and reinstalling but still i get the same message. 

    You have to have SharePoint 2010, either SharePoint Foundation 2010 or SharePoint Server 2010, installed somewhere in order to be able to create SharePoint sites with SharePoint Designer 2010. SharePoint Designer 2010 is a client-side product, which is usually
    installed on end user machines and then used to connect to a server-side edition of SharePoint 2010 (either of the two I mentioned above) to modify the SharePoint sites hosted on that server-side product.
    It is possible to install SharePoint Foundation 2010 on a client operating system (Windows 7), but it is much more likely that a production environment will involve installing SharePoint Foundation 2010 or SharePoint Server 2010 on a server operating system
    (Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2) on a central server that can be accessed by multiple users.
    If you are looking to do testing, you can either install Foundation on Windows 7, or use a virtualization product such as Hyper-V, VMware Workstation, Virtual Box, to name a few, to build a virtual server hosting SharePoint.
    You aren't going to be able to create SharePoint sites with SPD until you have SharePoint Foundation 2010 or SharePoint Server 2010 somewhere for it to connect to, sorry.

  • Hello. I have adobe forms and received the alert that it will be ending in July. Then I received an email about Adobe Acrobat XI Pro which can create forms. I signed up for the free trial and when I began to make a new form it brings me back to Adobe Form

    Hello. I have adobe forms and received the alert that it will be ending in July. Then I received an email about Adobe Acrobat XI Pro which can create forms. I signed up for the free trial and when I began to make a new form it brings me back to Adobe Forms. My question is, when Adobe Forms ends on July 28th will Adobe Acrobat XI Pro be able to create forms or will it now? and if not, then why is adobe advertising for it still?

    What you're calling "Adobe Forms" is really Adobe FormsCentral. The FormsCentral service is indeed going away soon, but you can always create PDF forms (AcroForms) with Acrobat. Acrobat also comes with a desktop version of the FormsCentral desiger, which can be used to create simple PDF forms that can be used apart from the FormsCentral service. So you'll no longer be able to create and host web forms with the FormsCentral service or use PDF forms with the FormsCentral service. You will be able to create standalone PDF forms with Acrobat and simple PDF forms with the FormsCentral desktop app.

  • Cannot assign an email address to SharePoint group (distribution groups)

    Hello,
    I configured incoming email awhile back in our SharePoint 2010 environment and it works great. I can assign an email address to a list and the necessary contact is created in AD in the OU I configured for incoming email and of course the item emailed in
    is added to the list.  However, if I try to assign an email address to a SharePoint group to create a distribution group, the following happens:
    The following error has occurred while attempting to contact the Directory Management Service: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.
    From what I've found on Technet and other resources, if incoming email works as expected, assign an email address to a group should work without issue but this obviously isn't the case.  I've dug around in the 14 hive and pretty much the same exact error
    is found there (with just a little more detail):
    System.Net.WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.
    at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall)
    at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters)
    at Microsoft.SharePoint.DirectorySoap.SPDirectoryManagementProxy.CreateDistributionGroup(String Alias, String Name, String Description, String ContactCN, RequestInfo Info, DistributionGroupFlags Flags)
    at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPGroup.CreateDMS(String dlAlias, String friendlyName, String description, String[] members, String requestor, String justification, Int32& jobId)
    Any ideas what this could be?  I'd imagine the timer service account has the appropriate permission on the OU as it can create objects for lists with incoming email enabled without issue.

    For the issue with group members who are not added during the creation process ...
    I followed this Technet article : Configure
    incoming email for a SharePoint 2013 farm
    But in the paragraph "Configure AD DS to be used with Directory Management Service", I added
    delegation of control for the following common tasks :
    Create, delete and manage groups
    Modify the membership of a group
    The distribution group gets created in AD with members in SharePoint 2013 ! It should work with 2010 as well…
    PS : Do not forget to set up these rights, not only for the Central Administration Application pool Identity account, but for all

  • SharePoint 2010 - Claims Based Authentication - Access Denied for AD Group members

    We're in the process of migrating our SharePoint 2003 system to 2010 and have used Metavis to migrate the data. We had to do the data migration in a lab environment and then move/attach the content database to our production server. The database attached successfully
    and I, as a site collection administrator, can see all sites and the data therein. We are using claims-based auth with ADFS 2.0 as the provider.
    My users, however, get access denied trying to go anywhere on the site. I have added the Active Directory groups to the appropriate SharePoint groups and have confirmed the groups are appearing with the c:0-.t|adfs|group_name syntax. If I add them as individual
    users (i:05.t|adfs|[email protected]) they can authenticate fine, but not by AD group membership.
    I enabled ADFS tracing and I see that the claim being provided includes the SIDs for all the groups the user belongs to. Using ULS Viewer I can see that SharePoint sees the correct number of claims (it doesn't show what those claims are, just the number) but
    it doesn't seem to be connecting the SIDs passed to the group name used in the permissions list. I have also updated the portalsuperreader and portalsuperuser accounts after the database was moved, just in case there was something weird there.
    The ADFS and SharePoint servers are all in the same AD domain, so they should be able to resolve SIDs ok. I suspect the issue is somehow related to the migration of the content database from a separate
    environment (different domain), but I can't figure out for the life of me how to get the group authentication to work.
    Thoughts?

    Brilliant idea. Unfortunately that didn't work - I can get to the new site as the site collection owner, but members of groups to which I assigned permissions still get Access Denied. :-(

  • Need help for creating sharepoint sites for both internet and intranet users

    We would like to know what is the best approach to create SharePoint sites for our customers(internet users) and internal employees(intranet users) on the same SharePoint server. Here is the scenario:
    1) A customer posts a document from internet.
    2) This triggers a approval workflow that can only be accessed and executed in the intranet environment. This approval process requires approval's possible modifications to the customer's document.
    3) We would like the customer not to able to check the approval state and the modified document until the document is fully approved and finalized.
    We are pondering if we need to create two sites, one site for customer and the other site is for internal approvers. Or one site is possible. It also looks like we need to somehow copy customer's original document to intranet site and triggers the workflow.
    Any design ideas are helpful. Thank you advance!

    Hi Jason,
    Though it is perfectly possible to have both intranet and internet on the server, it is not a recommended practice. Having both on the same server would have multiple problems, instead me detailing it out, here is a forum thread on which Trevor had given
    enough reasons -
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/9b550c33-6f5f-4cd9-8762-8ff389b747d9/sharepoint-2013-one-farm-to-host-intranet-extranet-internet?forum=sharepointadmin
    If you have valid reason to go with single server, then you can also explore email enabled lists as one option and another one would be using custom sharepoint designer workflow.
    you can also try using event receivers to send documents to intranet site from internet site, process everything and update the document in the internet site.
    Hope this helps!

  • Send Email to Sharepoint Group

    Hi All,
    How can i send email to sharepoint group? using infopath form send email data connection.
    1) I have created three groups i.e GroupA, GroupB and GroupC. i have a dropdown list (Items are GroupA,GroupB,GroupC) in my form. lets say user selected GroupA from dropdownlist then up on submit i have to send an emal to GroupA.
    --> Can this be possible? if yes then how
    2) I have another alternate solution. can this be achieved? please let me know
    I have created a three sharepoint custom list for GroupA, B & C in that few listed users email id are present.
    Here my questio is:
    1) How can i get the list of all the users when user select GroupA/GroupB/GroupC in dropdown list and sends an email to those users on submit button?
    2) Can this be possible Using Rules/setting Condition? If not
    3) Can this be achieved by using vbscript? because my client doesn't want to go with manage code and the big problem is i didn't have any idea on VBScript
    Please help me. Thanks in Advance.
    Mohammed

    All this can easily be done with a pretty simple workflow.  Is there a reason you're not doing it that way?  It's best NOT to send the entire form via email, because the data is immediately out of date, the formatting gets messed up, it requires
    InfoPath to be installed on the client, and it duplicates the data across the system.
    Please explain why you want to send via email submit instead of workflow, and then I'll see about testing your scenarios.

  • Users assigned directly to a SharePoint group can access a site if a user is in a security group that is a member of the SharePoint group, it doesn't work

    I recently installed SharePoint 2013 SP1 and thus far all seems to be going well. I do have one issue concerning permissions to a team site I have created:
    1. If  add a user User1 only to a SharePoint group that has edit permissions to the site, that user can log in successfully.
    2. If  add a user User1 only to a security group that is a member of the aforementioned SharePoint group, the  user gets "the site has not been shared with you. The security group is a global SG, though I tried changing it to universal 
    but that did not help
     I have tried updating the SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig  as briefly described at this link:
    http://macaalay.com/2014/05/27/active-directory-groups-and-access-denied-in-sharepoint-2013/.  I performed the steps and it did not work. I also
    tried rebooting the server after that, and that did not work either.  any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Hi,
    I tested the issue on SharePoint server 2013 without sp installed. It worked and I used global security group. I will test the issue on SharePoint 2013 sp1 later, and please provide more information to narrow down the issue.
    Please go to site settings > site permissions > check permission, type in domain\user1, and post the result here.
    If the user has been granted permission, please try logging on another machine to test if Windows credential casues the issue.
    Did the issue occur to one site collection? Please test on other sites or web applications?
    Please create new user to test the issue again.
