Configure the email notification function of redmine

According 《Guide to installing redmine 2.5.2 in WindowsThis article describes how to build a basic redmine platform. It is time to further configure it.

As a project management platform, you must be able to notify project members of various status changes related to projects and tasks. This is also a typical observer model. A developer can track a task. When the task status, remarks, documents, and priority change, the developer can be notified.

For the newly configured redmine, you need to create a user and send an email to the new user to inform him of the Account, redmine platform address, and other related information.

Therefore, configuring email notification is the first step and must be done.

Configuration File

Config/configuration. yml is the configuration file of redminde, which has many options, such as email notification and attachment storage address, SCM, rmagick ...... It's easy to get Charming.

What, this file is stored in the config directory? Ah, I forgot to mention it. After the installation is complete, the user does not check this person. You need to copy the configuration. yml. Example file and remove the. Example suffix.

By the way, we recommend that you use the view tag in the folder option to remove the option "hide the extension of known file types". Otherwise, errors may occur.

Basic email server and account Configuration

Open the configuration. yml file in the text editor and find the following content:

  email_delivery:    delivery_method: :smtp    smtp_settings:      address: smtp.example.net      port: 25      domain: example.net      authentication: :login      user_name: "[email protected]"      password: "redmine"

Modify the address option to configure your email server. Port is a port. User_name is the email account configured for redmine. redmine uses this account when sending emails to users. Therefore, you must set a password.

That's easy.

Problem status change notification

We have set up basic email servers and accounts in configuration. yml to ensure that redmine can send emails as needed. Under what conditions will redmine send emails to users? You need to log on to the redmine management platform class settings.

A picture is better than a thousand words:

You can check the action to send email notifications.

There is a Save button at the bottom of the page. Some points are worth noting. Each type of configuration, such as general, authentication, problem tracking, email notification, and so on, is modified and saved. Here, the page is saved for tags, not global, if you don't click it, sorry, come back.
