Hello Everyone…!

I have a scenario where I have to send an email to a group of people based on playbook completion.

Site.yml - \> master playbook consists of all individual playbook.

app1.yml  
app2.yml  
app3.yml

host file -  
app1\_host  
SERVER1

app2\_host  
SERVER2

app3\_host  
SERVER3

1. I have app1.yml which calls roles to perform series of task on SERVER1. app2.yml to call same roles to perform same set of tasks on SERVER2  
I can include email module in roles at the end to send an email once all the tasks are completed.

But

1. I have site.yml ( master playbook) which calls multiple playbooks like

app1.yml  
app2.yml  
app3.yml

Now, when site.yml calls app1.yml =\> tasks are execute =\> email sent.  
site.yml calls app2.yml =\> tasks are execute =\> email sent.  
site.yml calls app3.yml =\> tasks are execute =\> email sent.

How can I achieve to make ansible to send email only once if site.yml is called OR at end site.yml tasks are completed?

Any suggestion…!

Thanks,  
Balaji Chavdi

Add a play in bottom of site.yml that sends the mail.
