Email backends

This is a summary of all Apache Airflow Community provided implementations of email backends exposed via community-managed providers.

Airflow can send email (for example, task success/failure/retry callbacks) through a pluggable email_backend instead of the default SMTP implementation, letting a provider send that email through a third-party service’s API.

You can read about the general email configuration mechanism in Email Configuration and here you can see the email backends provided by the community-managed providers:

Amazon

Send email using AWS SES

Sendgrid

Send email using SendGrid
