Hello,

Currently the creation of a work item from a failed build is a manual process that is available from the build result. A user can click the "Create a new work item" link from the build result editor. There is not an automated way of doing the equivalent action. You may want to file an enhancement request.

There is a work item requesting email notification on completion of a requested build. You may want to add your comments to it: https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/50000

Hi,

I was searching around for a build related question, and I found this post.  In case others stumble upon this question, we now have built in functionality that allows for you to configure automatic email notifications when builds complete.  https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/index.jsp?re=1&topic=/com.ibm.team.build.doc/topics/tcreatenotification.html&scope=null has more information.

Another option is to create a customized pre or post build participant that will take the actions you want whenever a build is started or finishes.  We've configured pre and post build participants so they will automatically comment in a work item with build information.  https://jazz.net/blog/index.php/2012/12/06/how-we-save-time-with-build-engine-participants-and-you-can-too/ has more information.
