Send Email to SharePoint 2013 Group

Hi,
When we shared a file in a Document Library to a single user or Active directory list , the user receives the notification email successfully, but when we did the same for a SharePoint Group none of the users receive the notification.
Does SharePoint supports this option, if not, any workaround is available?
Please advice on this. Thank you!!!

Yes, there is
special configuration for the OU. For one, depending on the
approval setting you have for DLs in Central Administration, you may need to approve it there. Secondly, your Timer Service account must have the ability to create Active Directory Groups in the specified OU.

  • Send Email in Sharepoint 2013

    I created a website in HTML and PHP. The PHP part is used only to send Email. But I have to host this website in office 365 Sharepoint 2013 and PHP is not allowed in it. Is it possible to add email functionality to my existing HTML site in sharepoint. I could
    create a work flow for sending email, but I dont know how to integrate it to my existing html file.
    I have been searching all day and I have not been able to find a solution.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can use REST API. Similar thread:

    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.

    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  It's best NOT to send the entire form via email, because the data is immediately out of date, the formatting gets messed up, it requires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.

  • Email attachments from SSRS email subscription are not being uploaded to an email enabled SharePoint 2013 document library

    Email attachments from SSRS email subscription are not being uploaded to an email enabled SharePoint 2013 document library.
    I have tested the library using a standard email (with attachment) to the library and this works fine. 
    I have monitored the drop folder on the server and I can see both emails being picked up in drop and processed by SharePoint.  The email sent from a regular email account is uploaded with the attachment, whereas the email sent via SSRS subscription
    email is uploaded and the attachment (report) is missing.

    An update on this.  The email when sending from SSRS subscription is received in the library and the attachment is contained within the .EML file uploaded.
    The behaviour that I would like from SSRS subscription emails are to just have the document and not the email.
    Below is a snippet of the .EML files I quick copied from the Drop folder.
    Email attachment snippet sent from SSRS Subscrption:

    Thank you for your quick reply. I've had a MAC for several years but never used this option. (We are all infants when doing something for the first time.

  • Cannot send email using SharePoint designer 2013 workflow

    I am having a problem which I see many others have also posted about.  However, I don't find that any of their solutions fixes my problem.
    Using SharePoint 2013 on Windows 2008 R2 server.  SQL 2008 R2 on separate server.  Created a pretty simple workflow that calls for an email to be sent.  Created an Infopath form that is published to a SharePoint list.  One of the
    list fields is called "Approver" and is a people lookup field.  The workflow assigns an approver based on certain criteria in the list, and then sends an email to the assigned approver.
    During the testing phase of creating the workflow, I had the email sent to me specifically and I received the emails with no problems.  When I change the email recipient to Current Item:Approver (who is also me), I don't receive the email.  I have
    tried selecting Display Name, Email Address, and Login Name, but none work.  I also tried to send the email to the current item:creator (which was me) by selecting "User who created current item" from the select users dialog.  This also
    doesn't work.  The workflow is shown in a suspended state in the Workflow status screen.
    For informational purposes, I also included the Approver Display Name, the Approver Email Address and the Approver Login Name in the body of the email so that I could see what those fields actually returned as data.  The display name, and email address
    are correct, but the login name returned i:0#.w|domain\login (domain and login were my actual domain and login name).
    I have tried several of the fixes I found online to resolve this, but none have worked. Any help is appreciated.

    I don't see that it is possible to add CurrentItem:Creator to a list view.  The CurrentItem:CreatedBy returns my name as it should.  However, this does not help with my problem.  I don't want the email to come to me.  I want it to go
    to the CurrentItem:Approver.  This is a specific person who is assigned by the workflow based on various fields in the current item.  The approver is assigned, then an email is sent to the assigned person.
    There is a SharePoint group set up for Approvers.  This is used to assign permissions to the site where this list is created.
    Basically, I can't send an email to any recipient where I am using the current item lookup fields to populate the To: field.  I can only send email if I specifically select a person by name.

  • Using SharePoint (2013) groups in SSRS

    We had a report deployed in SharePoint 2007 that identified which SharePoint Group the user was in and used this in a parameter in the report. This used the method suggested in this question: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/c6ce0af7-2467-4ed8-8833-9bad438a28ad/how-to-get-sharepoint-group-in-ssrs?forum=sqlreportingservices
    Following an upgrade to SharePoint 2013, this no longer functions. The error refers to the specific dataset using the query suggested and returns a 'Soap Fault: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error'.
    I would guess that I need to direct the <SoapAction> to look in another location, but I can't see any obvious location to look in.
    Suggestions for the correct location, or other solution, would be helpful.
    Thanks
    Ray

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use SharePoint 2013 hosted in Office 365 to power Portal Authentication-type experience.
    Per my knowleadge, configuring SSO helps you to enforce your organization's password policies and account restrictions in both your on-premises directory and your Office 365 directory.
    For more information, you can refer to:
    Overview of single sign-on for Office 365

    Office 365 – Single Sign-On for SharePoint, Skydrive, CRM, etc. via Smart Links
    Regarding SharePoint Online, for quick and accurate answers to your questions, it is recommended that you initial a new thread in Office 365 forum.

  • Having issues with Sending Emails from Excahnge 2013

    hope you can help,
    I am learning Excahnge 2013 for the first time, and I have just build my first Excahnge 2013 server on a Windows 2012 server.
    I follow the steps from "petenetlive.com" on how to install the server and services. as this is a test bed server, I haven't gone as far as getting the Cert's.
    I have tried to different domain names from JCPPhotos.local 
    and jessphotos.co.uk but for some reason, I can't get the exchange to send out a test email, but I am able to send emails within exchange to internal email accounts with no issues.
    at the moment as this is a test bed, I have all the services on the same server, AD, Domain Contractor, DNS, but once I have this all sorted out then I will split the services onto different servers.
    I have at the moment disable all firewalls on the server, and opened all ports on my main firewall for all out going traffic.
    I have set up the send connecter as shown by Petenetive, and as the domain name is the same as my public domain name I have done anything else.   has anyone else had the same issues, and if so then can you please advice.

  • Can't send email to an icloud group in address book

    Hi
    I have set up some groups in icloud. I called one of these groups "Test", with only myself as a group member. In address book, when I right click to send email to "Test", it fires up a new email with the word Test in the email "to" field. If I try to send the email I get the error message "Test" doesn't seem to be a valid email address. It doesn't seem to be filling in the group email addresses in the "to" field.
    Am I doing something wrong?, or is this a known or unknown bug?
    I have other groups set up but I obviously don't want to send test emails out hence the test group "Test"
    Also when I edit the distribution list and right click the group name, "send email to "Test" is greyed out.
    Many thanks in advance

  • I am sending emails to a Smart Group created in my address book.   The contact in my address book has multiple email addresses.  Is there a way for the email to go to both addresses?  (ex:  work and home email address under one contact)

    In my address book, I have contacts that have multiple email addresses.  (ex:  home and work)   I have created a smart group off of the company name in the contact.  When I send emails, I want it to go to both email address listed in the contact.  Is there a way to make this happen?  Or do I have to have a separate contact for each email address?    

    I will agree with you on this one. Version 31 and all the fixes so far are a mess. Since I have been here answering questions for a little more than a year now I have learned to wait to upgrade until all the dust settles. I see no end to the dust storm version 31 has caused. I am still on version 24.6 and plan on staying there for the duration. At least until the developers comes to their senses and put out a working product.

  • Can't Send Email to Address Book Group

    First time trying to create a group in Address Book and send the members an e-mail. Looks like the group is set up properly in Address Book, but I can't e-mail to the group.
    When I enter the group name in "To:" in a new e-mail in Mail, the name disappears when I hit Enter or move hte cursor to the right. I have to click in the field to the right just to get the group name to stay in the field.
    When I send the message I get this back: "This message couldn’t be sent because the following internal error occurred: This message couldn’t be sent because you haven’t specified any recipients."
    I can manually address the email to the individual group members, but why isn't Mail adding the group members as recipients when I enter the group name?
    I'm running OS X 10.7.3. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    I, too, have had "When sending to a group, show all member addresses" checked since forever. I have just tried creating a group (or "Folder," actually, since it's in an Exchange account) of contacts and sending email to it. If I create a new message in Mail and start typing the group name, it auto-completes. But if I click the offered compltion, or type TAB, COMMA, or ENTER, the group name disappears from the "To:" box and there are no recipients.
    If I right-click the name of the group in Address Book and pick 'Send mail to "(group name)"' a new email message composition window appears, but there are no recipients.
    Hold the phone ... I just deleted the first member from the group, then re-added him. Now it partly works. I can 'Send Mail to "(group name)"' from Address Book, and I can drag the group into a recipient field (but I must then "Expand group" to see the addresses in Mail). But still, if I type the group into a recipient field, I get nothing.

  • Incoming Email in SharePoint 2013

    Trevor,
    Side question - I need to configure incoming email; since I have multiple WFE Servers & APP Servers and based on Q&A at the link below (is the hotfix part of the December cumulative update 15.0.4551.1511 or I have to apply it separately)?
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/f9f1d254-0f9e-4eec-a1c7-a94252668680/sharepoint-2013-incoming-mail-with-nlb?forum=sharepointgeneral
    Note that the SPLockJobType will be changed to Job in the December 2013 CU for load balancing purposes.
    http://sharepoint.nauplius.net/2013/08/update-on-incoming-email-job-lock-type-change-between-sharepoint-2010-and-2013/
    It is not recommended to run Incoming Email on more than one SharePoint 2013 server due to a synchronization issue Microsoft identified (hence the job lock type change).
    Thanks
    Davinder

    As of the December 2013 Cumulative Update, you can have more than 1 server in a SharePoint 2013 farm running the Incoming Email service as the LockJobType was changed back to None. The change is part of the Dec 2013 CU.
