Microsoft Retiring SharePoint Alerts – What’s Next for Your Organization?
Microsoft has announced that classic SharePoint Alerts are being retired, leaving many organizations searching for a reliable SharePoint Alerts replacement. For years, users depended on Alerts in SharePoint Online and SharePoint Server to get notified when documents were updated, tasks were assigned, or list items changed. With this retirement, IT teams and business users alike are asking:
- How will we stay updated without SharePoint Alerts?
- What are the best alternatives to SharePoint Alerts?
The good news is that you don’t have to lose this functionality. Instead, you can upgrade to something far more powerful: Bamboo Alert Plus.
Why You Need a Replacement for SharePoint Alerts
Standard SharePoint Alerts have always been limited: no advanced scheduling, no message customization, and no filtering beyond basic list or library changes. For organizations that rely on Alerts for collaboration, compliance, or workflow updates, the retirement can cause major disruptions.
That’s why it’s time to move to Bamboo Alert Plus – the enterprise-grade alternative to Microsoft SharePoint Alerts.
