ℹ️️ Info: This module can not be used on its own but requires the base installation. See main README for details.
This module adds support for sending notifications via e-mail. A queue is used to make sure notifications are not lost on failure but sent later.
Just install the module:
$ScriptInstallUpdate mod/notification-email;
Also you need a valid e-mail account with smtp login credentials.
Set up your device's e-mail settings. Also make sure the device has correct time configured, best is to set up the ntp client.
Then edit global-config-overlay, add EmailGeneralTo with a valid
recipient address. Finally reload the configuration.
ℹ️ Info: Copy relevant configuration from
global-config(the one without-overlay) to your localglobal-config-overlayand modify it to your specific needs.
Sending notifications to several recipients is possible as well. Add
EmailGeneralCc on top, which can have a single mail address or a comma
separated list.
There's nothing special to do. Every script or function sending a notification will now send it to your e-mail account.
But of course you can use the function to send notifications directly. Give it a try:
$SendEMail "Subject..." "Body..."
Alternatively this sends a notification with all available and configured methods:
$SendNotification "Subject..." "Body..."
To use the functions in your own scripts you have to declare them first. Place this before you call them:
:global SendEMail;
:global SendNotification;
In case there is a situation when the queue needs to be purged there is a function available:
$PurgeEMailQueue;
