Change URL of the emails send in a Document Library Alert

Hi friends,

If we are subscribed to alert on any SharePoint list or library, we get email notifications along with link to the list or library.
Lets assume the following scenario
Internal Web Application URLhttp://sp-realm/
Public web application URLhttps://access.sharepointrealm.com
Document LibraryResults
Internal URL of Document Libraryhttp://sp-realm/Results

When we create an alert for this library, we get email with the internal link to this document library by default.
If we want to associate public URL with this library, all we have to do is change Alternate Access Mapping and provide public URL in place of Default Zone for that particular web application.

Good Luck !

  1. Hello,

    I'm facing the same error for a HSNC under sharepoint 2016. Default zone is used instead of the url of the HSNC.

    So, his is not working for Hosted name site collection, How may I fix that?

    Any idea?

    regards,
    T
