Email user that broke build in Teamcity

Solution 1:

  • Open TeamCity in your browser.
  • Browse to Administration > Users and Groups > Groups
  • Click on the group name All Users
  • Select the tab Notification Rules (you see the Email notifier rules by default)
  • Click on Add new rule
  • choose in the column Watch the option Builds affected by my changes
  • choose in the column Send notification when the checkbox The build fails and Ignore failures not caused by my changes
  • Save this new notification rule with klick on the Save button.

A notification rule created that way works for all users. That's because the notification rule was created in the administration section within the group All Users, and not within one users personal notification settings. This works also in earlier versions of TeamCity, e.g. in 5.x.

The user still has the option to define additional rules if needed.

Solution 2:

At least with Teamcity 6.5 you have roles and groups, and you can set notifications settings based on them.

To achieve what you want, just take a look at the notification for group ALL (everybody) that is configured by default and you can't delete it.
