SharePoint 2010 Workflow for E-mail to High Prio Assigned
A SharePoint Workflows tutorial by Peter Kalmström
In
earlier articles we have seen how a simple SharePoint workflow
can send an e-mail alert when a new item is created or changed
in a list or library. In this article you will learn more
about such notification workflows.
In the demo below Peter Kalmström, CEO and Systems Designer
of kalmstrom.com Business Solutions, shows how to create
a workflow that sends an e-mail to the person who has been
assigned a task with high priority.
Peter continues to use a SharePoint 2010 workflow, but in
the the
next article, he will create the same workflow as a
SharePoint 2013 workflow. This way, you will be able to
see the differences clearly.
