question: Email Support?

[geraldsnm]

First off, kudos this is an excellent product, thank you so much for making this OSS available to all.

Question:
I see that there's configuration for notifications, is that specific to notfying users when they log in, or is there a way to have emails sent out for scheduling changes and/or upcoming events on the schedule? I didn't see any SMTP configuration so I thought it would prudent to ask. It seems like this would be a nice productivity add.

Thanks again.

That's exactly what notifications are for. You can see more in the user guide.

If you look at the example configuration there's a messengers section where you can configure which messengers to use to send out notifications. The supported list of messengers can be seen here. Right now it's slack, microsoft teams, rocket chat and Iris. If you're already running Iris then I would suggest just configuring it to use that. If you want to use SMTP that will require a new class to be added to support it, but it should be pretty easy to implement if you're interested.

Also for anyone else looking to solve for email:

Teams supports Email Notifications so once you get the messages into teams it should be straight forward enough to get an Outlook message.

iCal is super easy as well - just figured that out :)

@minhaz1 if I may trouble you for one last question, I'm trying to get the Microsoft Teams integration working and I am not getting anywhere.

I've set config.yaml values to:

notifier:
skipsend: False

default_modes:
- "teams_messenger"

messengers:

• type: teams_messenger
  webhook: (*** the webhook I got from MS Teams messenger connectors -> webhooks ***)

notifications:
default_times:
- 1
- 86400
- 604800

Then setup several events and reminders tests and see nothing at all in the logs or in MS Teams messenger.

Then I tried with inserting rows into user_contact with mode_id = 5 and the destination value set to the same webhook URL that I used in the config.yaml and that also made no difference.

Any ideas about what I may be missing?
