The Email Notification screen allows users to set up automated email alerts based on the outcome of a task run.

Notification triggers

Select one or more of the notification trigger options.
  • Successful: Send an email when the task completes successfully.
  • Failed: Send an email if the task fails.
  • No Transfers: Send an email if the task runs but no files are transferred.

Email server

Select the email server to use for sending notifications.
  • The default option is Application Default, a built-in email server option in Automate MFT, used for sending notification messages.
  • If additional email server endpoints, such as an SMTP server, are configured, search for an email server or select an email server from the list. The list can be sorted by email server name or description. To add a new email server, click Add New Email Server. For more information about adding a new endpoint, see SMTP endpoint.
The email notification configured in the Post Run section sends notification messages only. To send files as email attachments, add a Send Email destination step to the main section of the task before the Post Run section.

Recipients

Enter one or more email addresses, separated by commas. You can use macros to dynamically determine recipient addresses at runtime. For example, [Params:AlertEmail] uses the value of the AlertEmail parameter as the recipient address when the task runs.

Subject

Enter a subject line for the notification email. You can use macros to insert dynamic task information. For example, Notification from [TaskName] - Status: [TaskStatus]

Message body

Enter the content of the notification email. You can use either plain text or HTML formatting. Plain Text is selected by default.
  • If you use Plain Text formatting, enter your message as regular text. No formatting or HTML tags are applied.
  • If you select HTML as the message format, you must construct your email using HTML tags directly in the message body.
