Overview
A email committers hook task can be used to send a notification email to users that committed changes that affected the build. This is an alternative to the subscription system that is available to all pulse™ users to configure their own notifications. The advantage of this task is the ability to notify committers that either do not want to configure their own subscriptions or do not have pulse™ accounts. It is also a simple way to get started with notifications, allowing users to then customise their preferences as they choose later if desired.
Mapping SCM Users to Email Addresses
To send these emails, pulse™ needs to map between login names in the project SCM and email addresses. Currently this is done by assuming that the SCM login names and email ids are identical. This allows you to configure the email addresses by providing just the email domain, which pulse™ will append to the SCM login (with an "@" in between) to form email addresses.
Compatible Hook Points
This task must be run after a build is complete and this is compatible with the following hook points:
