I have a class registration set up in SharePoint 2013. Users are emailed when they register for a class. I want to create email notifications when the Start Date, Start Time or Location [fields] of the Session changes. I only want to email the users that have registered for said Session (between 1 and 400 people).
I should be able to handle this with an Alert or an Event, but can't figure it out. My SharePoint team is telling me that this is too difficult because "the columns are in Sessions [list] and not in Registrations [list view].
I've found a lot of information on general SharePoint alerts, but I can't find anything on sending notifications to a select group of users, based on another field.
You could create event receiver for the list and send email by SPUtility.SendEmail with dynamic users.
You could check sample code from here.

I am using SharePoint 2010 workflow template to create approval workflow for my organization. One thing I am stuck at is how to update a field when the users cancel the workflow. It does not seems like there is any workflow parameter that capture the workflow status when it is cancelled by user.
Have a look at the Workflow History List:

I need to create custom form in shopify eshop and the data send via external API. Is there some way how to do that? Or is there some way how to store the custom data and then access it via private app? Thanks a lot!
This really depends on what data you are trying to collect. If you are just trying to collect standard customer info you can create your own form in .liquid and have a webhook forward the info to zapier or create a private app key/pwd and use the Shopify api to pull information.
If you want more arbitrary information you can create or use an app that allows you to create a form and then process that form's responses.
I have a forms app in development that allows you to create a form and use an api to pull data from form submissions or have the form response sent as a JSON email body. (https://knightsofthenet.herokuapp.com/questionnaire/)
Some of the competition will just email the response in their own format and then you have to parse that response (in the past I've done that with mail gun and a node app. This would be a good use case for SES and AWS Lambda as well.
i am making a js outlook addin. Here I want to get the parent message id, if user trying to reply mail.
When user opens reply mail in compose mode, i want to extract parent message Id and do some analytics.
How can we achieve this?
You can use EWS for getting the job done. You can navigate through the conversation and find the latest one. See How to: Get conversation items by using the EWS Managed API 2.0 for more information.
I was recently tasked with taking over the SharePoint administration for my company, but I have very limited SharePoint experience. I'm using SharePoint 2010.
I have a List with a few built-in columns (like Status, Assigned To, etc) and I'd like to perform a few actions when a new List item is created: change the Status and Assigned To columns of the List item, send out an email, and then create a task for the user's manager to approve it. However, in SharePoint Designer, I cannot figure out how to create a Reusable Approval Workflow and associate it to a List, or a List Workflow and add an Approval Task to it.
If I create a Reusable Approval Workflow, when I try to use the "Set Field in Current Item" Action, I don't have any of the List Columns available (to set the Status, Assigned To, etc).
And when I create a List Workflow, I can access the columns for the list (Status, Assigned To, etc) but I can't figure out how to make the new List item go through the Approval process.
So my question is: how do I Associate a Workflow to a List, change some of the List column properties, and create an Approval Task for the Manager when a new item is created?
Am I missing something here or am I not approaching this correctly?
The easy way is just opening your site with designer and configure the approval workflow from there. You can select the list and make all the changes. I would give you a step by step guide, but some did this awesome article, so check it out http://plexhosted.com/billing/knowledgebase/226/How-to-create-a-simple-approval-workflow-in-SharePoint-Designer.html
I discovered the answer to this question on my own. It's due to the way SharePoint handles Tasks during a workflow. I was using the "Assign a Task" or "Assign a To-Do" when I needed to use COLLECT DATA FROM USER. This will return the Id of the task, which can be used later to retrieve the user's Approval or Rejection.
Did you end up creating a custom workflow to do all tasks yourself?
I have also tried a List WorkFlow and a Reusable Workflow and started by copying the "Approval - SharePoint 2010" workflow as a model in both cases. The caveat then is the users are tied to completing both the task and workflow items that are created.
An approver wants to receive the email to Approve or Reject a request on a Calendar from the Approve/Reject View in SharePoint and let that be it. They do not want to track tasks on Approval.
A requestor only wants to receive an email that their request was Approved or Rejected and enter another for a different time if the initial request was rejected.
