Send automatic email when migration for work items fails

[GoncaloFerreira14]

Hello everyone!
Does anybody know if this tool can send automatic email when it fails? And if you know, can tell me how you do that?

[MrHinsh]

No, it cant.

How are you using it, and why do you think emails would be valuable?

[GoncaloFerreira14]

Because the tool is migrating everything automatically, and I am not always checking if the tool failed or not, with a email system, I would always be warned which work item failed, when and why

[MrHinsh]

Thanks for the aditional information.

There really is no way to do this as no mail server is a available for us to use to send emails. This tool runs locally on your machine or a virtual server you create locally or on azure.

Do you have a suggestion on how we can notify you?

No ideia, I will try to create a script which will seek for the error message, and send an email with the error.
It is sad that the tool can not have a feature that catches a error during the migration and send it to an email, but I understand.
So one more question, there is any place on this tool where i can define the name for the log files? And how this folder is organized?
Like, have a log folder for feature, issue, bug,..., and the log file has the name of the bug?
Thank you for your help!

@GoncaloFerreira14 Hello! Were you able to create the script? I have the same problem even with the log file name, would you mind share how you were able to solve this? Thanks.
