Email templates
Emails sent by Cloud Management Platform (CMP) are rendered from customizable templates
Cloud Management Platform (CMP) sends email for order notifications, rule actions, and failure reports from jobs and scheduled commands
Set up email
Go to Admin > Email Settings. The Overview tab lists the current values. Select Edit to change them.
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SMTP Host | Empty | The mail server CMP relays through. |
| SMTP Port | 25 |
The port on that server. |
| SMTP Username, SMTP Password | Empty | Credentials, if your mail server requires authentication. |
| SMTP use TLS | Disabled | Whether to encrypt the connection to the mail server. |
| Email default from address | Empty | The “from” address when the template does not set one. |
| CB Admin E-mail | Empty | Where CMP sends failure reports and other administrator alerts. Accepts a comma-separated list. |
| Email on order completion | Enabled | Whether every deployment order emails its requester when the order finishes. |
Test the settings
Send Test Email sends a message to the administrator address:
- On the Overview tab, it tests the saved settings.
- In the Edit dialog, it tests the entered values without saving.
If the CB Admin address is empty, CMP writes warnings to the log instead.
Send email manually
Send mail from your own plugins and actions with the helpers in utilities.mail, or without code at all
Send email automatically
Once SMTP is configured, Cloud Management Platform (CMP) sends emails automatically
