Send Microsoft SharePoint item to Notifications on Button press

How this automation works

Send a rich Notifications alert with a Microsoft SharePoint list item when you press the Button widget. When you press the Button widget the applet asks Microsoft SharePoint for the item matching the value you configure and then sends the item's details to Notifications. Great for quick approvals, on-the-spot lookups, or field check-ins — get the item title, who created it, and a link delivered to your device. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to receive notifications.

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.
