Product Overview

Alert Plus: New Azure Subscription Engine

Alert Plus has introduced a major Azure backend upgrade designed to deliver faster, more reliable SharePoint alerts while improving efficiency for larger environments. The new subscription-based engine moves Alert Plus from repeatedly polling SharePoint lists and libraries to a change-driven model where Microsoft Graph notifies Alert Plus when activity occurs.

Release Highlights

Faster alert processing – Alert Plus can react to SharePoint changes as they occur rather than waiting for the next polling cycle.
Improved reliability – The subscription model helps eliminate the timing gaps that can occur between polling cycles.
More efficient Azure resource usage – Processing is focused on lists and libraries where changes have actually occurred.
Built for larger environments – The new architecture provides a more scalable foundation for customers managing thousands of active alerts.

While our original Azure backend has successfully powered thousands of alerts across customer environments, we knew we could make it even better.

Today we’re excited to introduce the Alert Plus Azure Subscription Edition, our next-generation alert processing engine designed around Microsoft Graph Change Notifications.

This is the biggest architectural enhancement we’ve made since launching Alert Plus for SharePoint Online.

And it should be.

Power Automate is an excellent automation platform. For business processes, approvals, integrations, multi-step workflows, and custom automation, it is an incredibly powerful tool.

But there is an important question organizations should ask before deciding to use Power Automate to replace hundreds or thousands of SharePoint Alerts:

Who is going to create and maintain all those flows — and what does that actually cost?
