Monitor CI/CD build status in Email
Route the build results that matter — a failed pipeline on your main branch — to where the team will actually see it, without the green-build noise.

the event
You emit ci.build.finished with this shape. The TypeScript SDK keeps the call type-safe, and the event is stored whole — so every field below is available to the pipeline by name.
- repostring
- branchstring
- statusstringpassed | failed
- commitstringsha
- duration_msnumber
emit it
From your code with the TypeScript SDK — or any language over the REST endpoint and signed webhook ingress.
import { ingest } from "@ingestlayer/sdk";
await ingest("ci.build.finished", {
repo: process.env.GITHUB_REPOSITORY,
branch: process.env.GITHUB_REF_NAME,
status: job.status,
commit: process.env.GITHUB_SHA,
duration_ms: job.duration,
});route it to Email
Send a transactional email to one or more recipients, addressable from event fields.
- 01
set the recipient
Enter a fixed address, or reference an event field like $event.payload.email to route per event.
- 02
write subject and body
Both accept $event.* templates. The body renders as plain text with an optional summary table of the payload.
- 03
confirm the sender
Mail goes out from mail@notify.ingestlayer.com with SPF and DKIM aligned. Set a reply-to if you want responses to reach you.

notes
- Outbound email is metered against a monthly quota that scales with your plan; over-quota sends are deferred, not dropped.
- Sending from a fixed ingestlayer domain keeps deliverability high, but the From address is not your own domain.
- Recipient addresses pulled from event fields are validated at send time; a malformed address dead-letters that delivery.
questions
- Can I mute passing builds?
- Filter to failures on protected branches, so a red main build pings the team and routine green runs don't.
- Do I need a CI plugin?
- No — emit the event from a final pipeline step with the SDK or a curl call. Any CI that can run a script can report.
- Can I track build time over weeks?
- Send every build to Postgres with duration_ms; the trend is then a query, independent of which builds alerted.
