SharePoint 2013 document library workflow to send emails when document changes

Hi All,
Need a email alerts to setup when documents get change in a SharePoint 2013 document library. Mail should go to all the members in a SharePoint Security group.
Many Thanks

Out of the box , You cannot set alerts for SharePoint group. You may try -
1- Create a group in active directory, add users to the ADgroup. Add that ADgroup in Sharepoint and configure alert.
2- You can set up a new user and change their email to that of a distribution list, and then assign the alerts to this user.
3- You can create a custom workflow/action or event receiver that will send an email to a distibution list or programmatically traverse the SPGroup's members and send them the notification email, whenever an item is added or changed.
4- You can try this , this was for WSS3 -

5- you can to use SharePoint Designer and create a workflow that send an email to SharePoint group.

SharePoint 2013 - SPD Custom Workflow keeps sending multiple emails for a single Task

I have a workflow triggering on List item created only. There are multiple stages in the work flow and in each stage a single task is assigned to a group of people. Currently group is only having one user i.e. my own test user with a valid email address.
Workflow was running fine for first 5 runs but now it keeps sending multiple emails for each task multiple times and runs very slow. I have only single workflow in development server with 24GB RAM.
Enabling the Workflow log in Event viewer does not show any error or warnings. The only clue I see is WorkFlowManager Database table "DebugTrace" having multiple entries showing that WF is trying to send same email multiple times with failed attempts,
but in reality emails are being delivered as well.
http://server/site/_vti_bin/client.svc/sp.utilities.utility.SendEmail Retry sending email in xx.xx.xx Status: HTTPRetrying
http://server/site/_vti_bin/client.svc/sp.utilities.utility.SendEmail Retry sending email in xx.xx.xx Status: HTTPFailed
I could not get the exact phrase as I don't have direct access to development machine at work.
Any help or guidance will be highly appreciated.

Yes, I have on-premise SP site, and here is the actual log I see in DebugTraces table.

Workflow to send email notification to the assigned person using Sharepoint Designer 2013

Hi,
The requirement is whenever the assigned to Field is changed to someone, the assigned to person should get an email notification saying that the item has been assigned to you.
I created a sharepoint designer List Workflow to send an email notification, below are the steps,
1. Log workflow to the workflow history
2. then Wait for Assigned to be not empty
3. then Email currentItem:AssignedTo
4.then stop the workflow
But the thing is whenever any field is changed in the particular item this email triggers, I want to send email only when Assigned to Field is changed and not any other field. how do i write the condition to check only if the assigned to field is changed
or not and and how i trigger the email.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to send email via workflow while the assigned to field value changed.
We can create a helper field
which will store the previous value of the Assigned To, then you can compare the current value with previous value of assigned to and send an email accordingly.
I have made a simple workflow demo below, you can refer to it.
I have created a new single line of text type field AssignedPerson in the list, then use the workflow below to achieve your scenario.

Document library is not receiving emails

Dear all,
my document library is not receiving email. For the last 2 months only this is not working.
I had followed the following link for the configuration of the setup - initially
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc287879%28v=office.14%29.aspx
I had checked the ULS log. Didn't find major ones. i have seen like this The Incoming E-Mail service has completed a batch.
Can anyone give input to solve
Cheers
sathya

Check if any thing changed since it was working. something like permission or update
Does the app pool account has access to pick-up \ drop folder
How is IIS SMTP configured
restarted SMTP service
Do you see
E-mail cannot be delivered because site is over quota or locked for editing. Site URL:
http://YourSiteURL.
Go to the SharePoint Central Administration > Application Management > Configure quotas and locks > on the Site Quota Information section > set a limit (i.e: 5000 MB) on this setting: “Limit site storage to a maximum of:” >
and then press “OK”.
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/62365/sharepoint-incoming-email-not-working
It's not working because SharePoint adds a header to the email message called X-Mailer: SharePoint Foundation 2010, and the incoming email feature will not accept emails with that header. This is apparently by design.
To make it work I will have to write some custom code to either take the X-Mailer header out of the email messages while they're waiting in the drop folder, OR add it to the InfoPath form's code-behind to use a System.Net.Mail method to send the form data
instead of the standard email submit option.

Send Email when built in approval workflow status column changes to approved

I Implemented the built in approval work flow in a document library,I want to send an email when the column indicating the status of the workflows changes from in progress to approved.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to send email when the built-in approval workflow status was approved.
For the default built-in approval workflow, per my knowledge, there is not a way to modify it. As a workaround, you can create a Reusable Workflow with SharePoint Designer 2010, and publish it to your SharePoint, then you can use it like the built-in approval
workflow.
You can do as the followings:
Install SharePoint Designer 2010.
Open your site with SharePoint Designer 2010.
Click Workflow under Navigation.
Click Reusable Workflow, and type a name.
Add “Start Approval Process” action, in the ‘these user’ , type the approvers.
Click ‘Approval’ field, and under Customization, click “Change the behavior of a single task”.
On the “When a Task Completes”, add “Send an Email” action in the approved condition,like the screenshot below.
Then save and publish the workflow, then you can use the workflow in your SharePoint site .
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Send email when ownership is assigned' is not working

Send email when ownership is assigned'
is not working
even though this option is disabled designer workflow task creation sends an email to the user when task is assigned to the user.
We have october CU updates 2013.

Hi Amit,
Per my knowledge, if the task is created from a workflow, then you may use the task actions in the workflow.
And some task actions will send an email to the user who the task is assigned to, so the email is sent from the workflow and it is not sent from the option “Send email when ownership is assigned”.
If you are using 2013 workflow, the send email action cannot be prevented from the workflow.
If you are using 2010 workflow, you can go into the task process to delete the Send an Email action.

Cannot send email when clicking lonk on web page

I cannot send email when clicking link on web page.
When I would click the link to send via email I was being directed to hotmail to open new account.
Today the tech tried to assist me and completely messed up my email capabilities by setting up
windows live account.
I am thoroughly disgusted with FIOS internet services..Every time I've called them in the past month problem has been with someone else whose portal services they are using.
I cannot send emails because all my contact information cannot be moved.
I'm paying for FIOS internet service that is almost non existent.
THe VZ in home agent doesn't work nor does the FIOS information site.
My next move is to get rid of FIOS.
They create more problems then they solve with me.

If I understand your problem correctly, you are having trouble when clicking on a MailTo link on any webpage? What loads when you click this type of link is a setting in your browser. If you tell us what browser you are using, we can try to direct you to the setting.

HT4979 why can I not send email when away from my home wifi? Am able to receive messages OK, and outgoing mailserver is correct?

Why am I unable to send email when away from my home wifi ? I am able to receive mail OK, and have double- checked the outgoing server which is correct. This problem is consistent with my Macbook Pro, iPhone, and iPad2.
Attempts to send messages results in them sitting in the Outbox and never- ending 'sending message' displayed.
I am able to send using my me.com server.
Home service provider is Cogeco.
Any help would be appreciated.

TS2621 why may I send email when wi-fi is enabled, but not when it is disabled?

iphone 4s with verizon will send email via wi-fi but not 3G. Are there any ideas why?

Depends on the email account. If it is from your Internet provider they may only allow use of their SMTP server for sending emails when on their network. To send emails when not on their network (i.e. when using Cellular data) it would require using a different SMTP server.

My iPhone will not send emails when away from my home wifi

my iphone will not send emails when away from home wifi any advice

Hey craggee,
Thanks for the question. This is usually do to a limitation by your ISP/email provider:
If you are only able to use your email account while connected to your home network, this may be a limitation put in place by your email service provider. For further support, please contact your email service provider directly.

Trouble sending email when on Wifi.

Can't send email when on Wifi, but can send when on 4G or maybe 3G - I forget. Can receive emails fine on both. To further confuse things I have three email accounts on my phone, two of them have no trouble sending or receiving when on either wifi or 4G.. I've checked and compared settings dozens of time.
I have a private hosted email account (not sure if that is the right word) But I don't have google, AOL, or something like that..
Thanks

"But wouldn't I be using the same outgoing mail server if I was wifi or 4G?"
Yes it would be the same. Maybe I'm too tired to figure this out.
The only other thing that comes to mind is that your wifi router's firewall may be blocking that port. But if that were the case, your PC or Mac wouldn't be able to send mail either.

Send email when a LWAPP AP is not reponding!

Hi,
Is it possible for the WLC 4404/25 to send email when it lost communication with an LWAPP AP?

Not that I am aware of. If you are using an external dhcp server with reservations for the APs or static ip assignments, you can use a monitoring system to alert you

Hi,
ADF Mobile cannot directly send emails as this is a security precaution of your mobile phone (imagine all applications could send mails without you confirming). Instead the send mail functionality launches the mail client you have configured and fill in the information you provided in the application. The mail function by the way is implemented through Cordova.
