Send Email notifications at GitLab CI stage level
Problem to solve
During the E2E pipeline there is a need to send email to approve certain steps, as well as notify certain groups of users with a particular information.
Further details
It doesn't help having email notification on build, push, success, failure. It has irrelevant information. Besides this status info I need to send information with certain details that I want to include. At one stage I need to notify one user (group) at another (let's say approval to deploy to a higher environment) I need to notify second user (group).
I don't want to spam certain groups every time pipeline triggers / finishes. I only need to notify when a certain step is reached.
