Parameters

• to|to_file: (mandatory) Use to to specify a list of recipients as strings or use to_file to specify file with addresses, each address should be in a new line.
• subject|subject_text: (mandatory) Use subject to specify a path to the file holding the email subject or use subject_text to specify a plain text subject.
• body|body_text: (mandatory) Use body to specify a path to the file holding the email body or use body_text to specify a plain text email body.
• vars: (optional) A path to a JSON-file holding template vars.
• type: (optional) The MIME subtype (defaults to "html")
• inline_css: (optional) Inline CSS to style attributes in HTML.
• attachments: A list of file names that will be attached to the email. Attachments only work if type is "html", wildcards (*) are supported, ex: your-attachment-*.zip.

subject|subject_text and body|body_text can both either be plain text, html or a jinja-template. In the latter case you can specify an additional file (vars) for holding template variables that should be rendered into the template. Additionally to the variables from the vars-file, all environment variables can be used in the template (e.g.: BUILD_ID). By default (if the MIME subtype is "html"), the CSS styles will be inlined to the HTML. If you don't want that, you can set the inline_css parameter to False. If you want to use jinja-template in subject_text or body_text you need to define the content as a multiline text, otherwise a syntax error will be reported for malformed yaml.

- put: send-email
  params:
    to: [[email protected]]
    subject_text: |
      {% block BUILD_PIPELINE_NAME %}{% endblock %}:{% block BUILD_JOB_NAME %}{% endblock %} failed
    body_text: |
      {% block BUILD_PIPELINE_NAME %}{% endblock %}:{% block BUILD_JOB_NAME %}{% endblock %} failed

A more elaborate usage example would look like this:

- put: send-email
  params:
    to: [[email protected]]
    subject: subject
    body: body.html
    vars: vars.json

or for a plain text example:

- put: send-email
  params:
    to: [[email protected]]
    subject: subject.txt
    body: body.txt
    type: plain
