• Enabling Email Alert Notifications for a Job
  • Overriding Global Notification Settings
• Sending Notifications to a Microsoft Teams Channel
• Sending Notifications to a Slack Channel

You can configure CData Sync to notify you via email after a job run is completed. Notification emails contain information regarding the overall job run, including the status of each query.

The following sections explain how to enable email alert notifications for your job.

Note: Before you enable notifications, make sure that you configure your email server.

Enabling Email Alert Notifications for a Job

Each job that you create automatically uses your global notification settings for that job. Those settings include the following:

• To: This text box specifies your default email address.

• Subject: This text box specifies a subject tag.

• Errors Only: This checkbox specifies whether Sync sends notifications for all job runs or for only job runs where errors occur. By default, Sync sends notifications for all job runs.

By default, email alert notifications are enabled for a job. To enable or disable alert notifications for a specific job, use the toggle switch that appears at the top of the Notifications category on the Overview tab for your job. You also can enable or disable alert notifications at the global level as explained in the section Notification Tab.

Overriding Global Notification Settings

You can override the default global notification settings at the job level by selecting the Override Global settings checkbox in the Edit Notifications dialog box.

By default, when you select this option, the inherited email address remains in the To text box, and the option Include email address inherited from global notification settings is selected. If you do not want to include your default email, deselect that checkbox.

In addition to your default email address, you can enter multiple addresses manually in the To text box as well:

Overriding the global options also enables you to change the Subject tag that precedes your email subject in notifications. By default, the tag is CData Sync. To change the tag, simply click the Subject text box, delete the default tag, and enter a new tag of your choice.

In addition, you can specify that Sync only send email notifications when errors occur in a job run. To do so, select the Enable checkbox.

After you click Save, the Notification category on the Overview tab displays the settings that you defined.

Sending Notifications to a Microsoft Teams Channel

You can send email to a Microsoft Teams channel by using a channel email address in the To text box of the mail settings on the Notifications tab in CData Sync. Once the channel email is added to a job, Sync sends alerts to the channel with the results of the job execution.

Note: You need to configure the connection to your SMTP server to enable Sync to send the alerts. Without that connection, Sync cannot send emails.

Sending Notifications to a Slack Channel

You can send email to a Slack channel by using a channel email address in the To text box of the mail settings on the Notifications tab in Sync. Once the channel email is added to a job, Sync sends alerts to the channel with the results of the job execution.

Note: You need to configure the connection to your SMTP server to enable Sync to send the alerts. Without that connection, Sync cannot send emails.
