Quick Start

4. Quick Start#

The following quick start guides for the three usage scenarios will help you quickly understand how to use MailTrigger.

4.1. Example1: For Receive Service Notifications on Various Messaging Platforms#

Previously, you set up your own SMTP server (e.g., mail-mydomain.abc) in Jenkins email notifications and set the sender as devops@mydomain.abc to send build status emails. This way, you could only receive messages via email. Now, you want to use MailTrigger to also send build status messages through Slack. You can achieve this by following these steps:

  1. Create your devops@mydoamin.abc mailbox in MailTrigger and set a password.

  2. Set up routes according to your goals, such as setting up a Telegram route.

  3. Enter the Slack chat room token (so it knows where to send the message).

  4. Change the SMTP server in your Jenkins email notifications to relay.mxnodes.com and fill in the devops@mydoamin.abc mailbox and the password you set in MailTrigger.

It’s that simple. You can successfully receive Jenkins notifications simultaneously on email and Slack!
