2/17/2022 00:48 | Love this Alert web part, but I'm unable to get the auto refresh of the page to work, I have Page Refresh Interval set to 1 minute... Google Chrome as my browesr. Also, is there a way to add an alert to the list, if I want it to email me when the list changes? I just see how to add an RSS Feed. Thanks for the help. Kelly | | Kelly

you actually can use the out-of-the-box “Alert Me” list e-mail subscription feature on the “AEAlerts” list to let users subscribe to list item changes. |
