Version: Release 24.1

SMTP Server Settings

In Release, you can configure an SMTP server to send notifications to users via email. This can be for events that occur during the execution of the release.

To set up the SMTP server, you will need information such as the server's hostname, port, and login details. Once it's set up, Release can use the SMTP server to send emails to users as notifications.

Note: The System Settings screen is reorganized to make the navigation more user-friendly. The settings are now grouped by theme, to easily locate and access the features.

Navigate to the upper-right corner of the screen, click cog icon > System Settings > SMTP server.

Note: The SMTP server settings page is available only for Administrators, who have the Admin global permission.

Configure SMTP Server​

Perform the following steps to configure an SMTP server:

SMTP server

  1. In the Host field, enter the hostname of the email server.
  2. In the Port field, enter the port number of the server.
note

Consult your System Administrator when configuring the SMTP server as the settings may vary depending on your organization's specific needs. They will be able to provide you with the correct configuration values.

  1. Select the Use TLS checkbox to secure the connection.
  2. In the From Address field, enter the sender's address that is used in the emails.

Some mail servers will ignore this setting, and set the authenticated user as the sender of the emails.

  1. In the Test Address field, enter the email address where you want the notification to be sent. You can add multiple email addresses by separating them with a comma.
  2. Select an Authentication Method from the drop-down list to access the server.

  • No authentication

Username and Password

If you're using the Username and Password authentication method, in the Username and Password fields, specify the login username and password of the SMTP server.

  2. In the Client ID field, enter the client identifier issued to the client during the application registration process.
  3. In the Client Secret field, enter the client secret issued to the client during the application registration process.
