The option to set up and send mail notifications is available from dab Nexus version 1.12.
Various steps and settings are required to set up mail notifications.
In this article you will learn how to activate the mail notifications.
Application Settings
Log in to dab Nexus and click on Settings at the top and then on Application Settings in the left-hand area.
Then activate the first option E-Mail Configuration (SMTP) and enter the following content in the corresponding fields (you will usually receive this information from your IT team):
- SMTP Server
- SMTP Port
- Connection Security
- Authentication Method
- Sender Email
Then test the settings with Test Connection. You will receive a success message if the connection could be established or an error message if the settings are incorrect.
Save the adjustments via Save Settings.
Profile
As soon as the application settings are available and the connection test is successful, you can set the notifications for yourself in your profile.
To do this, click on your user's icon in the top right-hand corner and click on Profiles in the submenu:
In the following screen on the right side, you can specify the runs for which you would like to be notified by default. You can be notified of successful, failed or cancelled runs. Set your preferences and click on Save Notification Settings.
Tasks
To receive notifications for all the tasks you want, you must carry out the following steps.
Click on Workspaces at the top, choose a workspace from the list, click on a task in the overview and then click on the Follow button at the top right of the task:
The settings you made in the Profiles section will now be applied to this task and you will receive an email notification if a run from this task is completed successfully, failed or cancelled.
Using the button with the three dots to the right of Follow/Unfollow, you can view the settings made in the Profiles section again by clicking on Change Notifications.
By activating Override Profile Notification Settings, you have the option of overriding the settings for this selected task. The three settings are then only applied to this task if they have been changed.
