Send notifications via e-mail ============================= [⬅️ Go back to main README](../../README.md) > ℹ️️ **Info**: This module can not be used on its own but requires the base > installation. See [main README](../../README.md) for details. Description ----------- 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. Requirements and installation ----------------------------- Just install the module: $ScriptInstallUpdate mod/notification-email; Also you need a valid e-mail account with smtp login credentials. Configuration ------------- Set up your device's [e-mail settings](https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Tools/email). 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`](../../global-config.rsc) (the one without `-overlay`) to > your local `global-config-overlay` and modify it to your specific needs. ### Sending to several recipients 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. Usage and invocation -------------------- 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; See also -------- * [Send notifications via Matrix](notification-matrix.md) * [Send notifications via Telegram](notification-telegram.md) --- [⬅️ Go back to main README](../../README.md) [⬆️ Go back to top](#top)
