Notification tasks

Notification task types are used to prepare emails and notify the recipients automatically when a task is active. It's an automated task that completes by itself or fails when the email cannot be sent. Release advances to the following task when the notification task is completed.

For detailed information about the contents of the task, see Task Drawer for Tasks.

Note: All the e-mail fields (From, To, CC, BCC, and Reply to) in the Notification task support auto-complete. The fields display a drop-down with the list of users from which you can select. The From field can have only one user. However, other fields let you select multiple users. Note that you can also type valid email addresses in these fields.

The input properties of the Notification task are as follows:

Option	Description
From	The email address from which the email is sent
To*	A list of email addresses where the message will be sent
CC	A list of email addresses that receive the message as CC
BCC	A list of email addresses that receive the message as BCC
Reply to	A email address of the reply message recipient
Mail priority	The priority of the email. Select one of the options from the drop-down list: Low Normal High
Subject*	The subject of the message
Body*	The message body, in markdown format
Username	The SMTP server username of the message sender
Password	The SMTP server password of the message sender

Click a field to edit it. You can use variables in the fields. In the Overview tab of the Notification task, you can add tags to your Notification task in the Task Tags field for filtering. In the release flow editor, Notification tasks are marked with gray border.
