What is extended email notification in Jenkins?

Using Email Extension Plugin – This plugin lets you configure every aspect of email notifications. You can customize things such as when to send the email, who receives it, and what the email says. Using Default Email Notifier – This comes with Jenkins by default.

What is an extended email?

Extended E-mail Notification is from the plugin Email-ext and allows more customization, e.g. from the plugin's page: "when an email is sent, who should receive it, and what the email says".

How do I set up extended email alerts?

Click the 'Available' tab present at the top of the 'Manage Plugin' page. Type 'Notification' in the 'Filter' field displayed at the top-right side of the 'Manage Plugin' page. Click the checkbox next to the 'Email-ext plugin' option and 'Email-ext Template Plugin' option. Click the 'Install without restart' button.

They are two different plugins.

  • E-mail Notification is from the plugin Mailer and allows to send a basic email.

  • Extended E-mail Notification is from the plugin Email-ext and allows more customization, e.g. from the plugin's page: "when an email is sent, who should receive it, and what the email says". This plugin also allows to set default global parameters (e.g. recipient list) so you don't have to set these parameters on each and every project.
