Hello,
I am using the deadline 6 beta command-line tool to submit new jobs to our render farm. Is there a way to instruct deadline to send a confirmation email to a given address, upon job completion?
From the online documentation:
To send the message to cjones@mycompany.com):
deadlinecommand -sendemail -to cjones@mycompany.com -subject “the subject” -message “C:\MyMessage.html”
Not sure if this utility can be wired into the render job workflow - can it?
Thanks lots!

If you want to change the email address on a per-job basis, you can set the ‘NotificationEmails’ in the Job Info file, when submitting the Job (this can be a comma-separated list). I don’t think you can set addresses as CC this way, though.
If you want Deadline to send notifications to the same emails for all Jobs though, you can actually set this up through Repository Options (‘Tools’ -> ‘Repository Options’ -> ‘Email Notification’). Again, I don’t think you can specify CC emails.
If you want to customize the actual content of the email, or really need to CC people (instead of having them as ‘TO’ like above options) you’ll have to set up an Event Plugin to do this, and implement the OnJobCompleted event.
Let me know if you have any further questions about it 
Cheers,
… Cool, good to know. Thank you!
