Change URL of Alert in Document Library - SharePoint 2013

Question

I have a document library named Sample in SharePoint 2013.

The internal site collection URL is like http://wonderland/ and its public URL is https://access.wonderland.com.

I have created an Alert for this document library. Whenever anything changes, it sends email alert to the user.

The URL for the Sample library item sent by alert is like http://wonderland/Sample. But I want to change it to external URL which will be like https://access.wonderland.com/Sample

Answer 1

Thanks Ryan. I have tried this option but did not work for me unfortunately. However I found my own solution. All I have to do is configure some Alternate Access Mapping settings as described in this blog.

Answer 2

This worked in 2007 and 2010 - haven't tried it but I would expect it to work.

stsadm -o updatealert -url http://yournewurl -oldurl http://yournewurl
