The system can send out e-mail notifications when projects or steps pass or fail, or when certain other events occur. This section describes how to configure e-mail notifications and how to modify the notification templates that control what e-mail notifications look like.
Whenever these properties have access groups selected, the system sends e-mail to the group members when the appropriate event occurs.
When a project includes another project as an inline project, the inlined project's start, pass, and fail notification settings are ignored, but any notification settings for its steps are honored. See Notification for Inlined Projects for details.
Before you can use notification, you must:
Configure the SMTP Server system setting so that the system knows what SMTP server to use to send e-mail. The default is localhost. You might also need to set the system setting for System Alert Source. This address is used as the source address and most SMTP servers require a valid source address. The default is root@localhost.
Create one or more notification groups and assign users to them.
Select groups to notify for individual projects and/or steps.
In addition, you can configure the notification e-mails that the system sends out by editing notification templates. See About Notification Templates.
