I have a SharePoint list of Issues and have set a column (called Alert) to a “Person or Group” (allowing multiple names).

I would like the system to send an email to all the users listed in the Alert field, if the respective Issue is modified.

How do I set the Workflow to send an email the users as specified by the data in the Alert field (if there is any)? I know how to use the Workflow etc – the problem the “To” part of the Workflow's email.

(Sorry if this item has already been tackled – I've searched Stack Overflow and Googled around but could not find an answer)

Preferably through SharePoint Designer. i.e. preferably with no Code.

Regards.

I have limited experience with SP Designer workflows, but have you tried the email action with "Workflow Lookup" selected in the To field? This allows you to use specific fields from the submitted list item.
