Alerts are e-mail notifications that inform you when items have been changed, added, or deleted in the lists, libraries, or calendar of Contact Manager and Business Applications. 

You can create e-mail alerts for yourself. In addition, you can create e-mail alerts for other users if you are the account owner or an administrator.

You can also create alerts directly from Contact Manager or Business Applications.

Create an e-mail alert

1. On the left navigation bar, click Account Settings, and then click Alerts.
2. Click Create Alert. The New Alert page appears.
3. In the Alert area drop-down list, select the application that you want to track.
4. In the List or document library drop-down list, select the item that you want to track, and then click Next.
5. In the Alert Title box, type the name of this alert. You can customize the alert title to add more information about it for the recipient.
6. In the Send Alerts To box, type or select names from your address book to send the alert to. Use a semicolon (;) to separate multiple names.
7. In the Change Type area, specify the type of change that you want to be alerted to.
