Everything you need

Microsoft retired native SharePoint alerts. SP Notify fills that gap — built on Azure Functions and SharePoint webhooks, giving your team full control over delivery channels, recipients, and timing.

📡

Webhook-driven

SharePoint sends a webhook POST on every list change. Events are queued immediately and processed on a 5-minute schedule.

🔀

Multi-channel delivery

Email via Microsoft Graph, SMS via HTTP provider, Teams via Bot Connector, WhatsApp via Business API — all configurable per alert, per user.

🏢

Multi-tenant

A single backend deployment serves unlimited SharePoint tenants. Full credential and data isolation per tenant.

Flexible scheduling

Immediate notifications, daily digests, or weekly summaries. Users choose their preferred cadence per alert.

🔍

Precise filtering

Filter by who changed (anyone, someone else, specific author) and what changed (added, updated, removed, or all).

📋

Delivery logs

Every notification is logged with channel, recipients, item count, and timestamp. Full HTML email body viewable inline.

Reach people where they are

Four outbound channels, each configured independently per tenant with no code changes required.

📧

Email

Rich HTML summaries sent via Microsoft Graph sendMail. Recipient display names resolved automatically. Requires a licensed Exchange mailbox as sender.
