Alerts for Created (Date) Column

I can't seem to find a way to set an alert if the Created Date changes.  This would essentially only alert me when a user filled out the web-form and not if someone changed the contents of the row.   I have an employee that needs to know when a new row is added, but doesn't need add'l updates when other employees massage the data.

 

Thanks in advance!

    How are the rows added?

    If by WebForm, add a check box column that is hidden and defaults checked when the form is submitted. Key the notification off that.

    If not, then add a check box column with a formula =1

    Make sure all rows have that formula. When a new row is added, it will see the formula and auto-fill.

    Key the notification off that.

    These two solutions may not be compatible, so you might need to two columns (the webform can populate the formula, only the result)

     

    Hope this helps.
