Send notifications via e-mail
ℹ️️ Info: This module can not be used on its own but requires the base installation. See main README 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. 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.
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 send notifications directly or use a function in your own scripts. Give it a try:
$SendEMail "Subject..." "Body..."
Alternatively this sends a notification with all available and configured methods:
$SendNotification "Subject..." "Body..."
