Ok, so whenever somebody adds an item to a list by sending an email to it, I need an email to go out to someone to let them know theres a new item.

Currently I have this working so that it will send out an email when a item is added manually, but for some reason it wont work when i send in items via email...

Any advice on this?

By default, workflows are not triggered on lists or libraries with incoming email enabled. This needs to be manually enabled with powershell.

$spWebService = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService
$spWebService.DeclarativeWorkflowAutoStartOnEmailEnabled = $true
$spWebService.Update()

  • It has to be run in a sharepoint management shell on one of the sharepoint servers
