🏷️ Feature Request Type

Change to existing notification-provider, Change to existing monitor

🔖 Feature description

Requesting the SMTP notification option allow optional toggling (opt in) of the monitor to return its response text.

✔️ Solution

User sets up alert for HTTP GET on a REST API
User enables SMTP
User checks box to enable response text
Code returns the HTTP response in the body of the email with a set character limit of ####

❓ Alternatives

Allowing a response message lets you do things like create cgi-bin scripts that can dymancally change response codes and return additional JSON data based on the response returned.

📝 Additional Context

Having control of also being able to optionally set response body in the email will add more definition to the alerts.

Here are examples of what i was able to do in my own clone for what I need.

Having this going forward would certainly make it easier for me to update!
