Understanding email notifications

Updated on December 13, 2021

Emails are preconfigured with information about each notification type. For example, when a deployment failure occurs, the email that is sent provides information, such as the pipeline name and URL of the system on which the deployment failure occurred.

Preconfigured emails are sent in the following scenarios:

Email notification events

EventContextDescription
Deployment startDeploymentWhen a deployment starts, an email is sent to the release manager. If you are using branches, the email is sent to the operator who started the deployment.
Deployment step completion or failureDeploymentWhen a step either completes or fails, an email is sent to the release manager. If you are using branches, the email is also sent to the operator who started the branch merge. The deployment pauses if there are any errors.
Deployment completionDeploymentWhen a deployment is successfully completed, an email is sent to the release manager. If you are using branches, the email is sent to the operator who started the branch merge.
Stage completion or failureStageWhen a stage in a deployment process either succeeds or fails, an email is sent to the release manager. If you are using branches, the email is sent to the operator who started the branch merge.
Manual tasks requiring approvalTask input requiredWhen a manual task requires email approval from a user, an email is sent to the user. That user can approve or reject the task from the email.
Stopped deploymentTaskWhen a deployment is stopped, an email is sent to the release manager. If you are using branches, the email is sent to the operator who started the branch merge.
PegaUnit testing success or failureTaskIf you are using the Run Pega unit tests task, and the task either succeeds or fails, an email is sent to the release manager. If you are using branches, the email is sent to the operator who started the branch merge.
