I have a SharePoint 2007 site which has a document library with several folders. My requirement is that whenever an item is uploaded to a folder, SharePoint should automatically generate an email notification to intended users. I can use workflows but those are not specific to a particular folder. As far as I know, SharePoint does not provide such a functionality out-of-the-box.
Is this possible using SPServices/jQuery? How can I do it?
Thanks in advance!
you can create an alert at the folder level within the document library through code
public static void AddFolderAlerts() { SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate() { using (SPSite site = new SPSite("site url goes here")) { using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb()) { SPUser user = web.Users["domainname\\username"]; SPFolder folder = web.GetFolder("folder url goes here"); user.Alerts.Add(folder.Item, SPEventType.All, SPAlertFrequency.Immediate); user.Update(); } } }); } http://go4answers.webhost4life.com/Example/sharepoint-alerts-list-folders-sub-48730.aspx
