Can I set a notification when a file is loaded into an item?

[brianwbates (Brian Bates)]

I’d like to notify a person within our company when a file gets uploaded to an item. Is this possible?

It might be possible. Id try using a formula column to get whatever information from the file column, for example it saying “File loaded”. Then id use the General Caster App to cast the formula into an actual column, like a text column or status column. Then you can use it in an automation to for example “When status changes to “File loaded”, notify me”.

Maybe you can try that.

Hi @brianwbates!

Would the following automation work for you? “When a column changes, notify someone”

Check out this video and let me know

Hi Aron,

And what if someone dont uses the file column? For example you upload the files in the Item directly next where you can write the updates?

Thanks

If a Version 2 is upload will that trigger another notification to be sent. Thanks
