We have an internal SharePoint 2013 site, but our users are use Google for Email. I need alerts to send email to google distribution lists when documents change in one of our document libraries. We don't want to add people to the alerts or remove people every time the distribution list changes. When I try to add the google distribution list email to SharePoint I get the following error:
Sorry, you are not allowed to share this with external users.
I don't really want alerts to go to any where outside of our organization since the site is not public. I tried to create a distribution list in Active Directory with the email address I want to alert, but that didn't appear to work. I would like to either white list our domain name so that it is not considered and external user, or be able to create an object in AD so that SharePoint will accept email addresses we have designated as safe. Has anyone figure out a way ot do this?
Yes, I know office 365 would make all of this easier, but that is not a fight I am going to win today. I would just like to make our SharePoint site a little more functional.
