Hi all,
this is my first post here, really happy to meet you!
I have a feature request: is it possible to send an email alert when processes ends with a errorcode?
Maybe it could be useful to send an email alert everytime, also for processes that succeeds, because the process often runs in a different computer.
Best regards
Francesco
Welcome!
Great UX suggestion. I made heavy use of this in a commercial software, so I agree that it has a lot of value.
Would you be able to contribute funds or development effort to get this made for everyone?
Hi,
thank you for your appreciation.
Yes, I’m available for contribute funding, benehalf regarding my economic resources!

Francesco
I would be happy to support with funds too. Email alerts for running processes when away from home/office would be useful.
Excellent!
Would you feel comfortable starting a funding initiative?
fund.webodm.org is a great place to start looking for how we’ve done it in the past 
Was this for me? I’m very happy to support, but genuinely don’t feel that know enough yet to start funding campaigns. I wouldn’t have a clue how to cost etc. I do like the Quad funding model though, novel way of applying mathematics to the problem.
Mostly for niubii, but your support with drumming up interest will be very welcome when we get to that stage.
Hi,
I just created feature request on GitHub:
Also create a fund request with link provided (http://fund.webodm.org/) but not listed at the moment.
Regards
Awesome stuff!
Let’s all get ready to spread the word, loop in people who’d benefit from this, get eyes/ears/hearts on it, and throw some cash too while we’re at it!
The biggest hurdle in getting this implemented is that one needs to create a UI for configuring the IMAP server to use to send e-mails. Not difficult, just a bit time consuming given all the possible options to send e-mail nowaways.
Along with funds, it would be nice to find a developer with some Django/Python experience that has interest in implementing this.
Ciao Piero,
Not sure you need a IMAP server available. You only need to send emails, not receive emails (*).
So, all you need is a SMTP server available somewhere, maybe on localhost itself. It Is possibile to send emails from a telnet client, or also from console.
The only problem on modern mail services Is that every connection needs to be authenticated.
Maybe the simplest solution could be to make a SMTP server available on opendronemap.org and permit to every WebODM installation to connect to something.opendronemap.org:25 and drop email to delivery.
This could work, until spam or abuse problems becames intolerable.
Regards
Francesco
Sorry, I meant to say SMTP. opendronemap.org could not be responsible for delivering mail for everyone (it wouldn’t scale). Mail sent from localhost would not get accepted by most e-mail providers.
