Email is used as alerting mechanism for project execution events. If you are not interested in receiving emails for specific events, you can unsubscribe from User Settings page.
A notification is a mechanism for alerting people of events within the FlexDeploy application. Alerting mechanism is email. Any person with an email address can subscribe to specific events and receive notifications, whether they are a configured user within FlexDeploy or not. Unlike approvals, notifications are additive (on Project Explorer hierarchy) and any notification that is found will be evaluated. This is accomplished by searching up the project navigation tree from the deploying application or project until the root folder is reached.
Notification setup described in this section is with respect to project level requests (build, deploy, test, utility etc.). Requests can be either manually triggered or automatically including pipeline execution.
| Event Name | Attribute Name on User Settings1 | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Request Approval Pending | Notify on Approval Required | Submitted request has pending approval. |
| Request Scheduled | Notify on Request Scheduled | Submitted request is scheduled for execution. |
| Request Approval Rejected | Notify on Request Rejected | Approver has rejected pending approval. |
| Request Deploying | Notify on Request Deploying | Request is ready for deployment, i.e. all approval and schedule requirements are met or were not present. |
| Request Completed | Notify on Request Completed | Request is successfully executed. |
Request Failed | Notify on Request Failed | Request failed during execution. |
