Hello,

I have a requirement to send email notification to user after password is changed.

Awx version is 21.5.0 and plans to upgrade to 22.3.0.

if we configure smtp, email will be sent automatically after password is changed?

Any suggestions on how to achieve this? Thank you in advance.

to clarify, you want to send a notification email to the user if their AWX password changes?

Yes, as per our security team , we need to send email to a user when the password is changed in UI.

Hi Venkat,

one possible solution i think is to use ansible playbook to change the password using awx api and you can send notification through callback plugin or by other email notification.
