How to send Allure report to a preferrend email once the azure devops pipileine runs are completed ?

Answer 1

Hello Peacock,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft forum.

At this time, Azure DevOps does not provide any native or built‑in feature to automatically email an Allure report (HTML or attachment) when a pipeline run completes.

Below provided ways are the officially supported approach.

1. Publishing Allure reports in Azure DevOps
   • Microsoft officially supports integrating Allure with Azure DevOps only for publishing and viewing the report inside the pipeline run UI (Allure tab).
   • This is done using the official Allure Report extension from the Azure DevOps Marketplace.
   • Official documentation:
   • Allure + Azure DevOps integration: https://allurereport.org/docs/integrations-azure/
   • Official Allure extension (Qameta Software): https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=qameta.allure-azure-pipelines
   This allows users to view the Allure report inside Azure DevOps, but does not send emails.
2. Azure DevOps notifications
   • Azure DevOps notifications can only send pipeline status information (run succeeded/failed, build completed, etc.).
   • Notifications cannot attach reports or embed Allure HTML content.
   • Notifications can email pipeline results, not test reports.

Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/notifications/about-notifications?view=azure-devops

If emailing is required, Microsoft supports the following workaround approach:

• Publish the Allure report using the official extension
• Send an email that contains the pipeline run link / Allure Report tab link
• This can be done using:
  • Azure DevOps Email Report extension (Marketplace) https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=epsteam.EmailReportExtension
  • Or a custom post-pipeline task (PowerShell + SMTP / SendGrid)

This approach aligns with how Azure DevOps is designed to work and avoids unsupported behavior. The only officially documented integration is publishing the report inside Azure DevOps. Emailing the report requires extensions or custom scripting and is considered a workaround, not a native feature.
