Configuring Email Notifications

Deployment Automation can send e-mail notifications whenever user-defined trigger events occur. For example, notifications can be sent when a deployment finishes or an approval is required.

To send email notifications to users, you must do the following:

• Define notification templates or use the provided templates. These define the format of notification emails for different types of notifications.
• Define the notification schemes you want to use or use the default scheme. These define the triggering events and roles for the notifications.
• Include an email ID as part of the user details for each user who will receive email notifications. See Creating Users.
• Define the email server information in system settings. See System Settings.
• Upon invocation of the triggering event defined in the notification scheme, such as the success or failure of a process request in which a user configured with an email ID has a role, an email notification will be sent to the user.
