How to make sql server jobs to send mails

To create a SQL Server job that sends emails, you'll need to follow these steps:

Prerequisites:

  1. You have a SQL Server instance with the SQL Server Agent service running.
  2. You have a mail profile set up on your SQL Server instance. This is required to send emails. You can create a mail profile using the SQL Server Configuration Manager.

Step 1: Create a new job

  1. Open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and connect to your SQL Server instance.
  2. In the Object Explorer, expand the "SQL Server" node, then right-click on "SQL Server Agent" and select "New Job".
  3. In the "New Job" dialog box, enter a name and description for your job, then click "OK".

Step 2: Add a step to the job

  1. In the "Job Properties" window, click on the "Steps" tab.
  2. Click "New" to create a new step.
  3. In the "New Job Step" dialog box, enter a name and description for the step, then select "Transact-SQL script (T-SQL)" as the step type.
  4. In the "Command" field, enter the following script:
    
DECLARE @subject nvarchar(255)
DECLARE @body nvarchar(max)
DECLARE @to nvarchar(255)

SET @subject = 'Job Notification' SET @body = 'This is a notification from a SQL Server job.' SET @to = '[email protected]'

EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail @profile_name = 'Your Mail Profile Name', @recipients = @to, @subject = @subject, @body = @body


Replace `Your Mail Profile Name` with the name of your mail profile, and `[email protected]` with the email address you want to send the email to.

**Step 3: Schedule the job**

1. In the "Job Properties" window, click on the "Schedules" tab.
2. Click "New" to create a new schedule.
3. In the "New Job Schedule" dialog box, enter a name and description for the schedule, then select the frequency and start date for the job.
4. Click "OK" to save the schedule.

**Step 4: Start the job**

1. In the "Job Properties" window, click on the "Start" button to start the job.
2. The job will run according to the schedule you created, and send an email to the specified email address.

**Tips and Variations:**

* You can customize the email body and subject to include dynamic values, such as the job name or error messages.
* You can use the `sp_send_dbmail` stored procedure to send emails to multiple recipients or to send attachments.
* You can use a different mail profile or email server by modifying the `@profile_name` parameter.
* You can use a different email client or service by modifying the `@body` parameter to include the necessary settings.
