Virto Alerts & Reminder App

Instant Alerts: Real-Time Notifications for Critical Updates

Critical Data Modification Alert

Scenario: A SharePoint list item (e.g., a client contract) is edited, triggering an email alert to the legal team and a Teams channel post with a link to the modified item.

Purpose: Ensure accountability and prompt review of critical changes.

New Item Added Alert

Scenario: A new task is added to a project tracker list, sending an email to the project manager and notifying the team via Teams.

Purpose: Keep stakeholders informed of new assignments or updates.

Approval Workflow Alert

Scenario: A pending approval request in a SharePoint list is updated (e.g., status changed to "Rejected"), triggering an email to the requester and a Teams alert to the approver.

Purpose: Speed up decision-making and task resolution.

Compliance Violation Alert

Scenario: A restricted file type is uploaded to a SharePoint list, triggering an email to IT and a Teams message to the compliance officer with a "Delete" action link.

Purpose: Automate policy enforcement and risk mitigation.

Escalation Alert for Unacknowledged Changes

Scenario: A high-priority list item (e.g., incident report) remains unmodified for 24 hours, escalating alerts via email and Teams to senior staff.

Purpose: Prevent delays in resolving urgent issues.

Instant Alerts

Timely Reminders: Automated Prompts for Events and Deadlines

Purpose: Ensure timely task completion and project adherence.

Meeting Reminder

Scenario: A calendar event stored in a SharePoint list (e.g., "Quarterly Review") is 1 hour away, sending a reminder email and Teams notification with the agenda.

Purpose: Reduce no-shows and keep meetings productive.

Vacation/Holiday Coverage Reminder
