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, they are available in the drop-down list.
The default application sends notifications only, to send files as attachments you must configure a custom email server endpoint.
