- Then define these attributes in your AE job definition(s):

notification_emailaddress

notification_msg

 

Here is an example that specifies that an email notification should be sent to [email protected] and [email protected] when the job completes, regardless of its status.

send_notification: 1

notification_emailaddress: [email protected]; [email protected]

notification_msg: The server appears to be down.
