Is it possible to attach artifacts to notification mails?

Hi,

in our FinalBuilder project we write a log listing all compile errors that occured during the runtime of the build. This file is registered as an artifact in Continua.
Is there a way to attach this file to the notification mails sent by Continua? Alternatively can we somehow access normal Continua variables from notifications?

Regards,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,

The notification templates are defined at a global level and are general to all projects and configurations, therefore we cannot currently use variables which are specific to a build. It is also not possible to attach a file to notifications.

The best that you can do at the moment is to link to the Build page using the {{ BuildURL }} variable in the templates. You can also use the Report page to display the contents of the log file you are generating.

We are planning an overhaul of the way notifications are done in the future, and  this should include allowing the templates to be overridden at the configuration level. We also plan to make more variables available to the template. It would be useful, for example, to be able to link directly to a single item on the artifacts or reports pages

Thanks for the info.
We already link to the build page in our notifications. I will also add the log file as a report.

Looking forward to seeing those planned changes realised.
