I’m glad you didn’t ask for any **easy** way. 😉 The first part can be [The COMPARE command](https://duplicati.readthedocs.io/en/latest/04-using-duplicati-from-the-command-line/#the-compare-command) although rationale behind what was seen as changed will need the mentioned log file. Sending compare output doesn’t seem very easy. Redirecting to stderr might get it sent, but it will also pop up a warning in GUI.  
P.S. I couldn’t get it sent this way. The email seems to be sent before the stderr and popup get done…

[Backup log file that looks like compare –full-results](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/backup-log-file-that-looks-like-compare-full-results/9769/5) talked about external mail sends. What OS is this? Windows is probably less likely to come with a generic mail sending program compared to, say, Linux.

[Can I send mail to myself with detailed backup result (for example, as “compare”)?](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/can-i-send-mail-to-myself-with-detailed-backup-result-for-example-as-compare/2603) was another effort.

[Send-mail: posibility to include added, modified and deleted files and they different size backup](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/send-mail-posibility-to-include-added-modified-and-deleted-files-and-they-different-size-backup/2660)  
was a forum feature request, and links to a GitHub feature request (either way, volunteers are needed).

[Email notification enhancement: include list of files changed #2750](https://github.com/duplicati/duplicati/issues/2750) is the GitHub request, and I notice several scripts posted there, not tried by me. The batch file one uses [The SEND-MAIL command](https://duplicati.readthedocs.io/en/latest/04-using-duplicati-from-the-command-line/#the-send-mail-command) from Duplicati’s command-line version as its mail sender for a pre-formatted message including a compare.

[https://github.com/duplicati/duplicati/blob/master/Duplicati/Library/Modules/Builtin/run-script-example.bat](https://github.com/duplicati/duplicati/blob/master/Duplicati/Library/Modules/Builtin/run-script-example.bat)  
which is also in the Duplicati installation folder covers some of the features that the script is relying on.

Advanced options including [run-script-after](https://duplicati.readthedocs.io/en/latest/06-advanced-options/#run-script-after) to write and send some report may be the path to this goal.
