I want to create calendar and when someone click on "Add" after filling all the details, it should email to a person.

How to add the email?

  • You can create a SharePoint Desinger Workflow which runs after item creation. Just add an action "Send E-Mail" with the details you want to have. How to create your first workflow is shown here: afrait.com/blog/how-to-create-your-first-2013-workflow-de-en

afaik there are two ways of doing this:

  • Workflow;
  • Event Receiver.

You may decide to put the email in a column of the list, in a configuration list, or in a property bag - depending on your requirements (e.g. if you decide to proceed with an Event Receiver and the email doesn't change often, i would choose the latter).

Since I understand you don't want to use SharePoint Designer, if I were you, I would proceed with an Event Receiver (using Visual Studio off course).

Remember that, if you are creating a Farm Solution and the email is a valid SharePoint user email address, you can use the SPUtility.SendEmail method.

You can set an alert to send mail to that person when new event is sent to that person.

Calendar alert is available

  • As Monica mentioned in the picture you can enter the name of the user in the column "Send Alerts To". Also you can type in the e-mail address of your choice.
