If you happen to be on a Linux system with a properly configured mta (mail daemon), which you are if cron is able to send emails, you can just pipe the output of your command to sendmail
It would have been nice until extra logic comes in: cron doesn't send an email when there is no output.
Which is exactly what I want! Error? I must know. Output? If I left any, then it's a notification, and I must know. No output? A maintenance task succeeded, nothing to report.

I can't remember the exact unit file syntax but you can define Before/After hooks, so you can point that to a script that emails people (or in my case pushes to a notification queue).
