[GitHub] [airflow] uranusjr opened a new issue #19781: A way to test email configuration
uranusjr opened a new issue #19781:
URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/19781
### Description
Provide a way to test the email configurations work, perhaps in UI or CLI.
### Use case/motivation
Airflow provides configurations for how emails should be sent. But after changing the configurations, it’s desirable to have a way to ensure they’re working by sending a test email, since otherwise it means the user is going to miss potentially critical email notifications and discover the error too late.
The recent “Test Connection” addition on Connection entires is pretty awesome. Maybe we could do the same (although I’m not sure where the button should go). If there’s not a suitable UI location (or if the web server is not the correct process to send emails), we can add a CLI subcommand to do this instead.

What are the thoughts on providing the email template for the test email, would that also be defined in airflow.cfg?

FWIW I have used `test@sink.sendgrid.net` to integration test email configurations in previous projects; `sink.sendgrid.net` is a "blackhole" domain that immediately deletes any emails that are sent to it. https://docs.sendgrid.com/ui/account-and-settings/safely-test-your-sending-speed

Great idea. We have a new "email" type of connection. Sounds like we should simply handle it well. This conneciton is only used for user/password (and rest is kept in the config) but it could be a special case of "Test connection" button.

Great idea. We have a new "email" type of connection. Sounds like we should simply handle it in the same place. This conneciton is only used for user/password (and rest is kept in the config) but it could be a special case of "Test connection" button.

I really wonder if smtp configurations should be in airflow.cfg - is there a reason we keep it there other than this how earlier versions of Airflow did it ? :)
The alternative is fully seperated email provider I guess?
We used to have email provider but it wasnt a really Independent one so eventually it was removed and migrated back to core.
In addition the smtp/emails are getting special treatment all over Airflow (see email_on_retry / email_on_failure)

Agree It could be just Hook and fully-fledged connection in Airflow core - does not have to be a provider.
