How to send mail using Ansible-Playbook

Hi Guys,

I have configured Ansible in the Linux system. I want to create one playbook that sends mail to the user. Can anyone help me with this?

Hi@akhtar,

You can find one module in Ansible named mail. This module has the capability to send mail to the user in Ansible. I have attached one playbook below for your reference.

- hosts: localhost
  tasks:
  - name: Sending an e-mail using Gmail SMTP servers
    mail:
      host: smtp.gmail.com
      port: 587
      username: xyz.na@gmail.com
      password: mypass
      to: abc.na@gmail.com
      subject: Ansible-report
      body: System {{ ansible_hostname }} has been successfully provisioned.
