Email is used as notification mechanism for project execution events. Email communication settings must be completed for notifications to work. Notification for project execution events are processed even when request is initiated automatically from pipeline.

There are some default recipients for each event (see table below), but any person with an email address can subscribe to specific events and receive notifications. This possible even when recipient is not a configured user within FlexDeploy. See section below for configuring such additional notifications beyond default recipients.

Unlike approvals & windows, notifications are additive (on Project Explorer hierarchy) and any notification that is found will be processes. 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	Default Recipients²	Description
Request Approval Pending	Notify on Approval Required	Submitter Members of Approval group	Submitted request has pending approval.
Request Scheduled	Notify on Request Scheduled	Submitter	Submitted request is scheduled for execution.
Request Approval Rejected	Notify on Request Rejected	Submitter	Approver has rejected pending approval.
Request Deploying	Notify on Request Deploying	Submitter Commit users (derived from change logs)	Request is ready for deployment, i.e. all approval and schedule requirements are met or were not present.
Request Completed	Notify on Request Completed	Submitter Commit users (derived from change logs)	Request is successfully executed.
Request Failed	Notify on Request Failed	Submitter Commit users (derived from change logs)	Request failed during execution.

1 - Submitter is a user that initiates build, deployment, utility or test request. Submitter recipient notifications can be turned off if desired for specific user by controlling specific attribute on User Settings. If request is initiated from pipeline, there will be no submitter notification.

2 - Commit users are derived from change logs captured during build, which are considered for notification when that specific build (project version) is deployed.
