Email Notification

MOVEit Automation can be configured to send certain people email messages if certain tasks succeed (e.g. transfer files OK), fail or find they have nothing to do. These types of conditional messages are configured by attaching a "Next Action" to specific tasks.

To attach an email alert Next Action to a particular task, open MOVEit Automation Admin, go to the "Tasks" tab, and select an interesting task. Right-click on the task and select "Add Next Action..." from the pop-up menu. Select under what conditions you want to send email alerts in the "Execute on" section, check the "Send Email" action, enter an email address, a message subject and the message body.

Note that the email address, message subject and message body can be completely or partially populated with macros, including task parameters. For example, you may want the message to send you the specific name of a file which failed to transfer. (You can get a list of files this task has attempted to transfer if you use the "OrigNames" script included with MOVEit Automation Admin installations.)
