Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-1119:
-----------------------------------------

Hi Colin,

You could certainly override the output connector method that you describe.  Indeed, you could construct an output connector whose entire purpose was email notification, and put that in your job as one of the outputs.  That would work but it would be somewhat wasteful, because MCF would be required to keep a row per document for that connector in the ingeststatus table.

I'll have to think on whether there's a better way to do notifications of this kind, and whether it's worth it to do them.  Constructing yet another connector type might be one way, but that's a lot of overhead too for this one feature.

> Currently the status of jobs can be checked via the rest API or the crawler ui.
> However there doesn't appear to be a way to send alerts based on jobs completing successfully or otherwise.
> Is there some way of adding an e-mail distribution I may have missed? or is it a matter of overriding the noteJobComplete method in the output connector?
