How this automation works

Receive an email whenever a new item appears in your SharePoint list. This Applet runs when a new item is added to the list you choose and sends the item's details to your email. It's useful for tracking requests, approvals, or onboarding tasks and keeps teams immediately informed via SharePoint and Email. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.

About Microsoft SharePoint

SharePoint is Microsoft's content and collaboration platform for organizations. Teams use it to securely store, organize, and share files, build team sites and intranet portals, and manage documents and knowledge in one place. It works alongside the rest of Microsoft 365 — Teams, Word, Excel, and Copilot — so content stays connected to where people already work.
