Notifications

It is often useful to receive an email when certain status changes occur in a stage. For example, a developer might want to know when their own check-in has broken the build. Alternatively, a manager might want an email whenever a project is deployed into production. Both of these scenarios can be covered by the My Cruise tab and Notification Filters

Notifications will only work if Security is enabled and mailhost information is correct.

Example usage

Usage: As a developer, I want to be notified when I break the build.

  • Click on the My Cruise tab
  • Click "Edit" and enter my email address, and make sure "Enable email notification" is checked
  • When I check in, my source control log in will be either "ChrisT" or "CT", so enter both of those into the "My check-in aliases" box
  • Click "Save" to store these values
  • Add a filter for the first "dev" stage to notify me when a check-in of mine breaks the build
  • And now I'll be emailed whenever I cause the "dev" stage to fail!
