    In SQL Server, is there a way which SQL Server can pass messages to inform an application or a third-party tool when it finishes some tasks?

    Sending email at the end of a task is probably the simplest and easiest way to do it. Another technique would be to insert a row into a table or create a file on disk - in both cases you'd poll until you got the result you wanted.

    You could also write an XP dll to do pretty much anything you cannot do directly in SQL in this case (such as sending data to a server using UDP or TCP). The question is what are you trying to accomplish and what are the requirements to meet them?
