Zephyr provides our users with the ability to set up and receive email notifications. These email notifications will notify users of the operations that they are doing or the test cases that they are assigned to. Administrators can set up the email notifications in the System Config page within the Administration section of Zephyr.

When setting up your email notifications within the Administration pages, Zephyr provides you with an option to test if everything is set up correctly by sending a test email.

Email Notification Scenarios

When the email notifications are set up,

  • the users will be notified when their test manager or lead individually assigns a test case to them.

The email will include details of the test case that was assigned along with the test case ID.

  • the users (owners of the test case) will be notified when a test case is edited, deleted, cloned, or moved.

These actions occur for both individual and bulk operations.

Set up Email Notifications

1. Navigate to the System Config page under the System Setup section in Zephyr Administration.

2. In the SMTP Settings for Email Notifications section of the page, ensure that you enable email notifications but clicking on the switch to Enable Email Notification.

3. In the SMTP Settings for Email Notifications section of the page, fill in all the required fields to set up emails notifications for your Zephyr instance. The required fields are:

  • From Email Address

  • SMTP Mail Host

  • SMTP Username

  • SMTP Mail Port

  • SMTP Password

4. After entering in all the fields required to set up the email notifications, you have the option to test if all the information and everything is working correctly. By using the test option, it will send an email to see if the mail server is set up and ready. Click on the Test button.

5. When you click on the Test button, a pop-up will be displayed that requests you to enter in an email address. This email address will be used so that Zephyr can test if the mail server is working by sending a test email to the email address entered.

6. Click on the Save button. After testing to see if the email is working correctly. You can save all the changes that you made to ensure that the information you’ve entered for the email notification setup is saved.
