Hi @Merca Ovnerud​ ,

Here is the docs link https://docs.databricks.com/sql/user/alerts/index.html please let me know if this helps or you still have more follow questions.

Hi Jose,

I believe @Merca Ovnerud​ asked for the docs to include an example, but I cannot see that this has been added in the link you provided.

Hi @Ola Pukstad​ , Thanks for your concern. We'll try to include the example requested by @Merca Ovnerud​  in the documentation as soon as possible. Thanks for flagging it @Merca Ovnerud​ .

@Jose Gonzalez​  Just sending me to documentations when I clearly state in my question that they are missing examples from the said documentation is borderline rude. And not responding even when someone tries to point this out, is even more.

Anyhow - could someone please tell me if there is possible (and how) to include data from the {{QUERY_RESULT_ROWS}} in the alert email?

Hi @Kaniz Fatma​ ,

Thank you for the link. That was exactly what I was looking for. I hope this will be included in databricks documentation for others who may have the same problem!

Best

-Merca-

PS: Ask all the questions you like 😉

Hi @Merca Ovnerud​ , So happy to help you!

Would you like to mark it as the best answer?

[merca]

Done!

I was wondering about this same question, however, the link is no longer accessible. Could the example be included int he official databricks documentation?

[merca]

@Aleksandar Mirkovic​ I second that an example should be provided in documentation! (hint, hint @Kaniz Fatma​ ​ 😉 )

Here is an example how to add the QUERY_RESULT_ROWS in email: (query result is table with 2 columns: column1,column2)

<table>
<tr><th>column1 header</th><th>column2 header</th></tr>
{{#QUERY_RESULT_ROWS}}
<tr>
<td>{{column1}}</td> <td>{{column2}}</td>
</tr>
{{/QUERY_RESULT_ROWS}}
</table>

 note of caution: if a receiver have turned off html rendering in email, this does not look good!!! The tags will be written out as plain text
