Jenkins To Outlook Build Email Integration

let’s get started :

Step 1 : We need a specified SG (security group that should have these ports opened as mentioned below)

Step 2 : launch and EC2 machine : make sure to choose t2.medium and attach the above SG into your machine .

Step 3: Connect to EC2 machine and install JDK-17 along with Jenkins and configure it :

JDK - 17 : sudo apt install openjdk-17-jre-headless -y


Jenkins (Ubuntu) :

sudo wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc \
  https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable/jenkins.io-2023.key
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc]" \
  https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/ | sudo tee \
  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jenkins

Step 4: go to outlook (account.live.com) » Settings » turn on 2FA and create app password .

Note : I already created app pwd which is why below Remove your app password option is showing.

Step 5 : Go to Jenkins » go to plugins » install Pipeline stage view and check in available plugin whether Extended Email Notification plugin downloaded » manage jenkins » fill your outlook email cred and details as mentioned in this below snap.

Step 6 : Create a pipeline job and add the pipeline script as mentioned below where added format and more details:

pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Hello') {
            steps {
                echo 'Hello World'
            }
        }
    }
    post {
        always {
            script {
                def jobName = env.JOB_NAME
                def buildNumber = env.BUILD_NUMBER
                def pipelineStatus = currentBuild.result ?: 'UNKNOWN'
                def bannerColor = pipelineStatus.toUpperCase() == 'SUCCESS' ? 'green' : 'red'

                def body = """
                    <html>
                    <body>
                    <div style="border: 4px solid ${bannerColor}; padding: 10px;">
                    <h2>${jobName} - Build ${buildNumber}</h2>
                    <div style="background-color": ${bannerColor}; padding: 10px;" >
                    <h3 style="color: white;">Pipeline Status: ${pipelineStatus.toUpperCase()}</div>
                    </div>
                    <p>Check the <a href="${BUILD_URL}">console output</a>.</p>
                    </body>
                    </html>
                """
                emailext (
                    subject: "${jobName} - Build #${buildNumber} - ${pipelineStatus.toUpperCase()}",
                    body: body,
                    to: 'your_email@outlook.com',
                    from: 'your_email@outlook.com',
                    replyTo: 'your_email@outlook.com',
                    mimeType: 'text/html'
                )
            }
        }
    }
}

I have ran the jobs for both parts - one for success job and one for failure to check whether we are good with our script or not .

This is how we can configure and integrate Jenkins and outlook for our Pipeline .
