The Send Email plugin allows you to send an unstructured Email as part of Deployment Automation process.

NOTE: This unofficial plugin has been superceded by the Email Client Plugin that came with SDA 6.1. See: http://www.serenacentral.com/blogs/entry/sda-6-1-emailclient-getting-started-tutorial

After loading the plugin into Deployment Automation, in the Process Editor Available Plug-in Steps, navigate to Automation > Send Email.

The input steps should be self explanatory, it is recommended that the connection to the email server and credentials as stored as system properties, the plugin will default to using properties for ${p:system/smtp.server}, ${p:system/smtp.port}, ${p:system/smtp.username}, ${p:system/smtp.password}

Note: it is likely that this plugin will be replaced by an official Serena Supported plugin in the future.
