Email Configuration—create new or edit existing email configuration

Use this page to specify an email server to CloudBees Flow. If you do not create an email configuration, you cannot send email notifications to individuals or groups.

If you have multiple users or groups in remote locations that use a different mail server, create additional email configurations to accommodate those locations if they need to receive CloudBees Flow notifications.

To create a new email configuration

Enter information into the fields as follows:

Field Name Description

Field Name	Description
Name	Unique name to identify the email configuration
Description	(Optional) Plain text or HTML description for this object. If using HTML, you must surround your text with `<html> … </html>` tags. Allowable HTML tags are `<a>`, `<b>`, `<br>`, `<div>`, `<dl>`, `<font>`, `<i>`, `<li>`, `<ol>`, `<p>`, `<pre>`, `<span>`, `<style>`, `<table>`, `<tc>`, `<td>`, `<th>`, `<tr>`, and `<ul>`. For example, the following HTML: `<p> <span style="font-family: Arial;"> <i>Note:</i> For more information about the <b>abc</b> object, see <a href="https://www.google.com/">\https://www.google.com</a>. </span> </p>` ▼ renders as follows: `_Note:_ For more information about the abc object, see \https://www.google.com.` ▼
