You have several options, depending on the scope:

- mail task (trigger when: yum\_update is failed/ task in rescue/always  
part of a block, disk\_usage \> 75, etc)  
[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/5/collections/community/general/mail\_module.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/5/collections/community/general/mail_module.html)  
- mail callback (handles any failures in run)
