Notification Exercise

The following procedure describes how to set up and try out e-mail notification. The exercise requires an SMTP server and an e-mail account.

  1. Set up your SMTP server as described in Configuring Your SMTP Server

    Make sure you have a user account that sends e-mail to an e-mail account you can access.

  2. Select Administration > Access Groups
  3. Create a new access group called Email Test with your chosen user as the Initial Member.
  4. Select a project (for example, the Hello World project) and edit its project properties. Select the Email Test group in the Start Notify, Pass Notify, and Fail Notify fields.
  5. Run the project.
  6. Verify that you received two e-mails: one to indicate the start of the project, and one to indicate its success or failure. If you do not receive the e-mails, verify that you used the correct SMTP server value.
