Using Application Manager's email templates, you can automatically notify specified recipients whenever a deployment process executes. For additional granularity, there is also an option to send a notification when an individual deployment within a deployment process begins.
This feature requires a minimum of Recast Software v5.10.2506.
Add an Admin Notification Recipient
When adding an email recipient, you'll choose the template used to send success notifications. Failure notifications always use the default template. Success and failure notifications are both enabled by default.
To add an email recipient:
1. On the Application Manager Settings page, click the Environments tab and select an environment.
2. Open the Deployment Processes > Basic tab or the Deployments > Basic tab, depending on the email template type.
3. In the Recipients section, click Add Recipient.
4. Enter the Recipient Name and Email address.
5. Select an email Template from the drop-down menu.
6. Choose whether to send the recipient success and/or failure notifications. By default, both options are set to 'Yes'.
7. Click Save & Close.
View Email Templates
You can view existing notification templates on the Application Manager Settings page by opening the Email Templates tab. If you have not created any additional email templates, only the Default Deployment Process Template and Default Deployment Template will appear.
- Click the Template name to see the text and variables it includes
- Click the Usage number to see the deployment processes or deployments where the email template is used
- Click Preview to see a sample of the email notification using this template
