Customize the Email format for Build Completes Notification

Hi all,

I need to know how i can approach to customize the email format for the build completes or any other event.... Please help me in this regard.

Thansk in advance, Kathir

If you modify the xml file it will change the format for ALL builds. I don't think it is possible to specify a particular build and send a specific message for it.

A better option might be to override a target (perhaps AfterDropBuild) and insert a Mail task that will send out a mail with the content you'd like. Check out the MSBuild Community tasks for the custom Mail task, or you could create your own.

Hi

U could add the following mail task to any target on the execution of which you want a mail to be sent. As DQM said, override the AfterDropBuild to send out the email

" SmtpServer="smtpservername" />

Thanks,

If I wanted to sent a message when a build fails, which target would I overload

I figured it out,

I would overload the "AfterOnBuildBreak" target.
