  "textContent": "Microsoft is retiring SharePoint Alerts in July 2026. New alert creation is already blocked for existing tenants as of January 2026.\n\n* * *\n\nℹ️\n\n**Key Facts:**\n**New alerts blocked:** January 2026\n**Full retirement:** July 2026\n**Alternatives:** SharePoint Rules (simple notifications) or Power Automate (advanced logic)\n**Existing alerts:** Will stop working at retirement\n**Action required:** Migrate existing alerts before July 2026\n\n* * *\n\nSharePoint Rules offers a simpler replacement for basic \"notify me when something changes\" scenarios directly within the list or library interface. Organizations with complex conditional logic, multiple recipients, or integration requirements should plan for Power Automate migrations. Use `Get-PnPAlert` in PnP PowerShell to inventory existing alerts across your tenant.\n\n**Sources:** Microsoft Support",
