Question: We have a number of lists, on which we have configured alerts using the Alert Plus Web Part. It seems that alerts for lists requiring content approval for submitted items are not showing up. With a little testing, I’ve realised that email notification is sent only on "Approved" list items, while "Rejected" and "Pending" do not trigger "on modification" email. Is this know behaviour, or it is just me?
Answer: In order to send an alert on an item in a list, the person that the Alert service runs as needs to be able to see the items in the list. When you configure a list to Require Content Approval, you also specify who can see draft items. If the user the Alert service runs as cannot see draft items, no alerts will come when an item is created
