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 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 Preferences 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
  • Events

    You can set up notifications for different events

    • All - all the runs for the stage
    • Passes - the passed runs for the stage
    • Fails - the stage runs that failed
    • Breaks - the stage run that broke the build
    • Fixed - the stage run that fixed the previous failure
    • Cancelled - the stage run that was cancelled
