User Alerts

Server extension

To migrate the user alerts, ShareGate Desktop requires that the server extension is installed on the source and destination server. Here is an article how to install it.

The Server extension is only required for On-Premises environments, not Office 365.

Note: We do not migrate alerts that are on individual items or documents when running a migration to Office 365.

SharePoint 2003

The server extension is not compatible with SharePoint 2003. Therefore, the migration of user alerts to or from a SharePoint 2003 server is not supported. Here is an article that explains what is supported and what is not for each SharePoint version.

Permissions

To prevent the User alerts from being triggered during a copy to an on-premises environment, the user must be farm admin at the destination.

Note: When copying to an Office 365 environment, there is no way to prevent user alerts from being triggered. Since it is a migration to a cloud environment, ShareGate Desktop does not have the information on when certain tasks are completed, which may result in alerts being triggered during the copy.
