What it is and what it does
This is an Apache Airflow provider package that integrates SMTP email functionality into Airflow workflows. It allows DAG tasks to send email notifications and messages through any SMTP server, enabling alerting, reporting, and communication from automated data pipelines.
The package is built on aiosmtplib for async SMTP operations and integrates with Airflow's operator and hook architecture. It requires Apache Airflow >=2.11.0 and supports Python 3.10 through 3.14. The package is actively maintained by the Apache Airflow project, with recent releases and no known security vulnerabilities.
Use it for
- Send task failure notifications to ops teams when Airflow DAG tasks fail or encounter errors.
- Generate and email daily or weekly data pipeline reports to stakeholders automatically.
- Alert on-call engineers when data quality checks fail or SLAs are breached in production workflows.
- Notify downstream teams when long-running ETL jobs complete successfully.
- Integrate with Airflow's built-in alerting to route notifications through your organization's email infrastructure.
