Why we like it

A practical convenience addon for Blender 4.2 that closes the loop between an unattended render and your phone or inbox.

What is Render Notifications // Email And Text Alerts?

Render Notifications // Email And Text Alerts is a Blender addon by CGMatter that sends an email or SMS message to yourself once a render finishes. Each notification can include the project name, the render's start and end time, a custom tag or note, and the completion status, so you can step away from the computer while a render runs.

Setup follows a short sequence: install the addon and create sender credentials, choose a target carrier or use email, specify the recipient's email address or phone number, add an optional note, then start the render. Most carriers are supported, and the email feature lets you add your own carrier or email your account directly and automate from there.

Documentation is included with the addon. Published almost two years ago for Blender 4.2, it is offered under a royalty-free license, and CGMatter is listed as a Dev Fund Contributor.
