Azure Communication Services

The ACS Email output module allows you to write an email in response to an event, which is sent through Azure Communication Services Email.

This helps get around some common security issues trying to send SMTP email in the modern era, where password policies and two-factor authentication make it difficult to send messages from automated systems and appliances.

Parameter	Default	Meaning
constring		The ACS Email Connection String
domain		The sending (from) email domain
to		The address to send the message to
subject	%M	The subject line of the email, with event substitutions
content	%M	The content of the email message, with event substitutions
timezone	UTC	The timezone to write times in

Example

[
   {
	"type": "event",
	"method": "acemail",
	"timezone": "Australia/Sydney",	
	"constring": "<connection string>",
	"domain": "<azure email domain>",   
	"to": "<to address>",   	
	"subject": "An Event Happened",
	"content": "An %M happened today at %S"
   }
]

The above example would send an email with the subject 'An Event Happened' and the content of the log message..
