How do I send an email alert when batch job status changes to executing?

Question

How do I make AX send an alert email every time a batch job executes?

I know how to make it send an email when I change the status to waiting or withheld.

I would like to be able to set up alerts when jobs exe, error, and so on.

As this is not a standard option, the easy way would for the job to send the mail itself.

There are several ways to send email, SysEmailTable::sendMail comes handy:

SysEmailTable::sendMail('templateId',
                        'en-us', // Chosen language
                        'WhoYouSendThisTo@example.com', // Who you're sending the email to
                        mappings, // Your variable mappings
                        '', // Location of file attachment (server/client matters) or none
                        '' , // XML if you're using XSLT
                        true, // Traceable or not?
                        'admin', // Sending user
                        true); // Use retries?
