Your question is a bit broad, but in general yes.

Using the Emailer transformer it is possible to send an email initiated by a feature. So if you build in some testers (make sure to limit the input to the emailer to prevent a mailbomb) this is doable. This might only work well if the Rejected Feature Handling in the Navigator window is set to Continue Translation, else the process is terminated before the Emailer has worked.

The LogMessageStreamer can be used to pick up specific errors from the logs, which can serve as input for the emailer.

If you want to know if a complete run fails, you’ll need to start the workspace using a WorkspaceRunner, it is then possible to use the Failed outputport to initiate the Emailer.

This can be a pain yes, but since recently it is possible to use office365 mail connection, so if you are able to fix the azure app approval with IT, you’re good to go.

Was an ongoing battle but i got it working on FME Server, which meets my needs :)

I’m blessed with a team member who sees massaging IT to admit to our needs as his mission to make the world a bit better. If I had to do that myself I would probably change profession.
