I have been asked if there is the functionality to turn on notifications on our sharepoint server 2010 intranet. I see you can do it individually by selecting alert me, but not globally.

    Based on your post, I understand that you want to create alert one time in all lists through a global setting in the SharePoint.

    Per my research, there is no such global setting in the SharePoint to create alert one time in all lists.

    Currently, you need to create alert in the corresponding list one by one manually.

    Thanks! I tried to setup power automate but it looks like it only works with sharepointonline. Do you know of any other tool that can be used to run a script to look for a trigger and send an email?

    Can I set up an alert me and then have my outlook account forward the email to all other associates?
