Customizing a notification template to combine test set and test case artifact information

Is there a way to customize a notification template to provide information from both testcase and test set artifacts so that one notification email is sent with the results of a test case?  Even more perfect is to only include the information if the results is not passed.

Overview:
I have an automated framework designed to:
- create a test run based on test set
- create an element based on the list of test cases within the test set
- process
- update test set with the latest release and execution status
- update the test run with the results.
- My desire is on completion, send a notification with the following information...
test set notification template information, release, testcase info of only failed tests.

Thank you.

I found a report that calculates the # of passed and failed in a test set summary report.  Any way to get include these values in the notification?  That will work too.

Not currently I'm afraid, only certain fields are available in the notifications templating system. Can you email us a support ticket with the enhancement request?

I found this page on how to create an in-memory PDF report and send via an email.  This is a decent work around for me where I want one report to send the actual pass/fail results to the tester.  Right now SpiraTeam does not support the ability to send 1 report with the pass/fail results from a test run.

Here is a simpler solution, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/848794/sending-email-in-java-using-apache-commons-email-libs

If you use maven you have to add the apache libraries.
