Since Xray v3.1, you can receive email notifications related with Test Runs.

Emails are sent depending on the configuration of Jira notifications, defined in a Notification Scheme, for some specific JIRA events provided by Xray.

Since the Test Run is not an issue type, events are triggered for the related Test Execution; this means that the notification destination fields are mostly related with the Test Execution. However, in some events there can be some difference on the semantics of the fields (e.g. "current assignee" may be the assignee of the Test Run instead of the Test Execution issue).

Usually, notifications are configured to be delivered to the "current assignee" (e.g. the Test Run assignee or the Test Execution assignee, depending on the context). Nevertheless, it's possible to configure other stakeholders, such as the watchers, to be notified on the changes related with Test Runs. 

How it works

...

There are two global settings related with Test Run notifications:

• XXX: for defining who can use the "Add/Disable Test Run notifications" option in the project settings, since it can affect the related Notification Scheme
• YYY: for defining the final statuses for which the "Test Run Status set to Final" and "Precedent Test Run Status set to Final"

...

1. go to project settings => Notifications
2. from the Actions menu, choose "Edit notifications". Note that this will impact the Notification Scheme being used by this project and all other projects that also use it.
   
3. in each Test Run related event, click on "Add" in order to add a notification to the related Notification Scheme
   
4. in the notification configuration page, besides the Event that will be pre-selected, define who shall receive the email notifications related with that event
