I like these ideas. 👀

It'd be nice if this was implemented in an abstract way. I can imagine a Slack notification being nice for this too!

This issue is becoming stale. In order to keep the tracker readable and actionable, I'm going close to this issue in 7 days if there isn't more activity.

So any slack or email notifications?

@matifali how would you expect to configure email sending? Would you want to provide Coder with configurations for using an SMTP server (smtp.host.com/user/pass/port) or would you expect Coder to e.g. use the mail server configured on the host (if there is one)?

@matifali, how would you expect to configure email sending? Would you want to provide Coder with configurations for using an SMTP server (smtp.host.com/user/pass/port)

This is simpler and can be used.

Ooo this would be nice for slack! Abstract way instead of just email for sure.

Hi @Kira-Pilot, if you are working on this, I suggest that we specify an SMTP server address and login credentials and then Coder can send notifications by using that.

Something like

CODER_SMTP_SERVER_ADDRESS=smtp.mycompany.com
CODER_SMTP_SERVER_PORT=587
CODER_SMTP_SERVER_USERNAME=user@mycompany.com
CODER_SMTP_SERVER_PASSWORD=secret42

Something like https://pkg.go.dev/net/smtp can be used

@matifali I like that idea. For this first pass, we are going to add VS Code notifications and nothing more. We want to give a notifications feature more thought instead of jamming it into the Workspace Actions RFC work, which I've linked above.
I'm going to take my name off this ticket because I don't think I'm fully meeting your feature request here; however, this is definitely something we want to do down the line!

Going to close this one for now. We are implementing "quiet hours" which ensures a workspace will only shut down in the following cases:

• User is inactive
• Workspace is reaching its max window (e.g. has policy to restart every week)

Down the road, I'd love to add email support
