Add a simple field to specific alerts that a user can enter an email to receive updates

Hey, @SamuelAdamsMcGuire! Right now we don't support directive notifications on specific alerts - it requires to enhance current notifications system at all levels and it's on roadmap.
Proposal solution:

• We will add possiblity to add list of emails on data entity alerts notification settings. This email list will apply the same rules as other notifications.

@AndreyNenashev Thanks for the feedback. Keep me posted. I currently have a simple work around and use the email alerts from Great Expectations. However a general alert from the platform would be great.

Implemented email smpt notifications
to use it you should fill this properties in odd-platform-api/src/main/resources/application.yml

notifications:
  enabled: true
   email:
      sender: your_sender_email
      password: password
      smtp: smtp_host
      port: smtp_port
      notification:
        emails: "yourFirst@gmail.com,yourSecond@gmail.com"

Or you can specify Environment variables:
NOTIFICATIONS_ENABLED=true
NOTIFICATIONS_RECEIVERS_EMAIL_SENDER={your_sender_email}
NOTIFICATIONS_RECEIVERS_EMAIL_PASSWORD={password}
NOTIFICATIONS_RECEIVERS_EMAIL_SMTP={smtp_host}
NOTIFICATIONS_RECEIVERS_EMAIL_PORT={smtp_port}
NOTIFICATIONS_RECEIVERS_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION_EMAILS={"yourFirst@gmail.com,yourSecond@gmail.com"}

Also, in case you want to receive a link to a data entity where an alert occurs, you should specify the PLATFORM_HOST_URL environment variable (by default, it is localhost).
