Problems with Email Integration in Jenkins and Microsoft Teams

Improving Email Exchanges Between MS Teams and Jenkins

Python implementation using the Jenkins API and SMTP

import smtplib
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from jenkinsapi.jenkins import Jenkins
def send_email(report, recipient):
    mail_server = "smtp.example.com"
    mail_server_port = 587
    sender_email = "jenkins@example.com"
    msg = MIMEMultipart()
    msg['From'] = sender_email
    msg['To'] = recipient
    msg['Subject'] = "Jenkins Test Report"
    body = "Please find attached the latest test report."
    msg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain'))
    attachment = MIMEText(report)
    attachment.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="test_report.txt"')
    msg.attach(attachment)
    with smtplib.SMTP(mail_server, mail_server_port) as server:
        server.starttls()
        server.login(sender_email, "your_password")
        server.send_message(msg)
        print("Email sent!")

Setting Up Jenkins Webhooks for Microsoft Teams Notifications

Script in Groovy for Jenkins Pipeline

pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                echo 'Building...'
            }
        }
        stage('Test') {
            steps {
                script {
                    def response = httpRequest(url: 'https://outlook.office.com/webhook/your_webhook_url_here',
                                               method: 'POST',
                                               contentType: 'APPLICATION_JSON',
                                               requestBody: '{"text": "Build started"}')
                    if (response.status != 200) {
                        echo "Failed to send Teams notification"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        stage('Deploy') {
            steps {
                echo 'Deploying...'
            }
        }
        post {
            success {
                script {
                    httpRequest(url: 'https://outlook.office.com/webhook/your_webhook_url_here',
                                method: 'POST',
                                contentType: 'APPLICATION_JSON',
                                requestBody: '{"text": "Build successful"}')
                }
            }
            failure {
                script {
                    httpRequest(url: 'https://outlook.office.com/webhook/your_webhook_url_here',
                                method: 'POST',
                                contentType: 'APPLICATION_JSON',
                                requestBody: '{"text": "Build failed"}')
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Important FAQs Regarding Email Integration between MS Teams and Jenkins

1. Why does the MS Teams channel not receive emails from Jenkins?
2. Verify that the MS Teams channel is set up to receive emails from outside email addresses and make sure that no spam filters are preventing these messages from getting through.
3. How can Jenkins be set up to send emails?
4. Jenkins settings require the setup of an SMTP server and the use of SMTPAuthenticator for authentication.
5. What are the typical errors made when configuring Jenkins' email notifications?
6. Erroneous recipient email format, inappropriate email server settings, and poor Jenkins job configuration are examples of common blunders.
7. Is it possible for Jenkins to notify several recipients by email?
8. Jenkins can be set up to send emails to several recipients if the recipients are specified in the post-build actions of the task.
9. How can I make sure Jenkins's email alerts are configured properly?
10. Check that the emails are received appropriately by manually starting a job to test the setup. Look for any error notices in the Jenkins server logs as well.

Concluding Our Integration Guide

A number of specific procedures must be followed in order to successfully integrate Jenkins with Microsoft Teams for email notifications. It is important to make sure that both systems are set up correctly for communication. This involves configuring Microsoft Teams to receive messages from Jenkins and setting up SMTP for Jenkins. When these settings are in line, email notifications for jobs and test reports are sent automatically, which improves teamwork and productivity.
