A SharePoint list that holds data for a workflow that facilitates authoring, approving and releasing announcement emails.



This "application" is a SharePoint list and some automation from the API / Application server that sends announcements to the company.  HR and others use it to author templated company announcements to be sent to internal audiences. 


It doesn't bypass moderation for distribution groups.

Resending a Notification


  1. Go to the edit list view
  2. Verify that the row for the message in question has:
    1. SendNotification was set to Yes 
      1. Email Notification checkbox is checked
    2. The message has already been approved
      1. There's no workflow for this.  You're just looking to see that the Approved By field is populated.
  3. Then
    1. Change EmailSent to 0 
    2. (Optional) - In some cases, setting SendNotification to No still does not trigger a re-sending. This is because the current date is not between Start and Expires dates of the Announcement
      1. Make sure the current date is between Start and Expires by editing the Announcement updating Start and Expires to appropriate values. 


After updating and saving the Announcement, the UpdateAnnoucement workflow will be triggered and it will check the following conditions.

  1. EmailSent == 0
  2. Approved By has value
  3. SendNotification == Yes
  4. Start <= current date <= Expires

If all conditions met, a notification will be sent out.


This does not bypass moderation settings for groups.
