How can I trigger email notification on Pipeline build failure using the Email Notify pipe?

How do I add the logic to a pipe to check the build exit code and only send email upon failure?

Hello @yosser.mahfoudh and welcome to the Community!

You can use the pipeline default environment variable BITBUCKET_EXIT_CODE :

The exit code of a step, can be used in after-script sections. Values can be 0 (success) or 1 (failed)

to create an if condition and check if the step is successful or not.

Following is an example of using that variable, along with the atlassian/email-notify, to send email notifications with the build status :

pipelines:
  default:
      - step:
          name: Build and Test
          script:
            - echo "abc"
          after-script:
            - ALERT_TYPE="success"
            - if [[ $BITBUCKET_EXIT_CODE -ne 0 ]]; then ALERT_TYPE="error" ; fi
            - pipe: atlassian/email-notify:0.10.0
              variables:
                USERNAME: 'myemail@example.com'
                PASSWORD: $PASSWORD
                FROM: 'myemail@example.com'
                TO: 'example1@example.com'
                HOST: 'smtp.gmail.com'
                SUBJECT: '${ALERT_TYPE}:Bitbucket Pipe Notification for ${BITBUCKET_BRANCH}'

For further instructions on how to configure the variables required to execute that pipe, you can refer to its official documentation below :

* atlassian/email-notify | Bitbucket Cloud

Hope that helps! Let me know in case you have any questions.

Thank you, @yosser.mahfoudh !
