Hi everyone, when creating an

EmailTask

what is the

EMAIL_USERNAME

and

EMAIL_PASSWORD

used for? Are the notifications shipped from this email? Is this required, or is it possible to use the default notifications@prefect.io email address shown in the class definition?

I don’t think you can use the

<mailto:notifications@prefect.io|notifications@prefect.io>

. Those are to authenticate to an email account that would send the message from

Thanks for the clarification Kevin!

So you set those as Secrets and Prefect will fetch them as it uses the task

Awesome 🙂
