Azure Pipelines: Notification on Job failure

Question

Is it possible to send a e-mail notification if a specific job fails within an azure pipeline?

Basically, i a testing stage in my pipeline where several jobs run in parallel which execute different test suites. Each test suite has a different guy who is responsible and must be notified if it fails.

I could only find notification options on failing the whole pipeline, but that's not what I want to do.

I also don't create any work items at the moment, and I couldn't find a "send-email-task" or something like this.

I could of course write my own script and execute it if a job fails, but I want to know if there is an easier way to solve my problem.

I don't think there is an out-of-the-box option like this, but you can use Send Email extension:

- task: SendEmail@1
  displayName: 'Send an email with subject Job A failed!'
  inputs:
    To: '[email protected]'
    From: '[email protected]'
    Subject: 'Job A failed!'
    SmtpServer: 'my smtp server'
  condition: failed()
