How can you configure Jenkins Pipeline so you can automatically send an email with a custom body?

I'm trying to have Jenkins pipeline automatically send an email, but with a custom body. The pipeline is called from a web application by a button, so I was thinking about having a text box there to write the desired message before the button is pressed. However, I don't know how this chunk of text can get sent to Jenkins.

Right now the pipeline is sending emails through emailext, with the body message hardcoded. I know I can pass data from a web app to Jenkins with the Build With Parameters API, which I'm currently using for a Username and Password field, but sending a whole email message as a parameter sounds incorrect.

  emailext (
        subject: "---subject---",
        body: """Hi, 

This is the hardcoded message that I would the user to have flexibility to create themselves
        """,
        to: "---list of recipients---"
       )

Ist thing you job needs a parameter MAILTEST and then you can just this parameter in the body of the email just like coldplayer proposed.

Honestley for I used https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Generic+Webhook+Trigger+Plugin because the default trigger support only a kind of token as parameter on the rest interface.

You can also use something like this, where you could add REGEX and EXCERPT to customize your mail content

emailext(
    to: "email_list",
    subject: "Subject",
    body: '''$BUILD_URL
          ${BUILD_LOG_REGEX, regex="DRYRUN.*DRYRUN.*DRYRUN",maxMatches=1, showTruncatedLines=false}
          ${BUILD_LOG_EXCERPT, start="EMAIL CONTENT:",end="END OF EMAIL CONTENT"}''',
    recipientProviders: [[$class: 'DevelopersRecipientProvider']]
    )

Here is a function ready to be executed, you can also add an attachment. Adapt to your needs.

def sendMail() {
    def body = """
            <html>
               <body>
                  <p>Hello</p>
                  <p><img src="cid:screenshot.jpg" alt="screenshot"/></p>
                  <ul>
                     <li><strong>Jenkins Build URL:</strong> ${env.BUILD_URL}</li>
                  </ul>
               </body>
            </html>
            """
    emailext(to: recipient, subject: 'SUCCESS : ' + subject, body: body, mimeType: 'text/html', attachmentsPattern: 'screenshot.jpg')
}
