# Email Notify ## Overview Send an email notification after each Codex task. Use the helper script to resolve the project name and send via SMTP. ## User Preparation ### 1) Configure environment variables Add the following lines to `~/.bashrc` (Linux) or `~/.zshrc` (macOS): ``` export CODEX_MACHINE_NAME="Machine-name" # e.g., Macbook export CODEX_EMAIL_SMTP_HOST="smtp.example.com" export CODEX_EMAIL_SMTP_PORT="587" export CODEX_EMAIL_USERNAME="user@example.com" export CODEX_EMAIL_PASSWORD="..." export CODEX_EMAIL_FROM="user@example.com" export CODEX_EMAIL_TO="recipient1@example.com,recipient2@example.com" export CODEX_EMAIL_USE_TLS="false" # true/false, default false export CODEX_EMAIL_USE_SSL="true" # true/false, default true ``` If your SMTP server does not require auth, leave `CODEX_EMAIL_USERNAME` and `CODEX_EMAIL_PASSWORD` unset. Set `CODEX_EMAIL_USE_SSL` to `true` for SMTPS (typically port 465) and `CODEX_EMAIL_USE_TLS` to `true` for STARTTLS. Do not set both `CODEX_EMAIL_USE_TLS` and `CODEX_EMAIL_USE_SSL` to `true`. ### 2) Add instruction in project AGENTS.md For example, add this instruction to AGENTS.md: > Use skill email-notify to notify users when each agent run is finished or when any notifications would be sent to users. ## Workflow ### 1) Provide a project name source (optional) - To override the folder name, define a project name in `AGENTS.md` using one of: - YAML frontmatter: `project_name: My Project` (or `name:`) - A plain line: `Project Name: My Project` - If no name is found, the script uses the project folder name. ### 2) Send the notification at task completion - Generate a short task title (3-8 words). - Pick an execution status: `success`, `failed`, `partial`, `blocked`, etc. - Write a brief result summary; avoid secrets. Run: ```bash python3 ~/.codex/skills/email-notify/scripts/send_email_notification.py \ --task-title "..." \ --status "success" \ --summary "..." \ --project-name "..." ``` ## Resources - `scripts/send_email_notification.py`: Send the email notification and resolve the project name.
