Question

It doesn t look like the case but are generic webhooks allowed to be used as notification blocks <https docs prefect io api ref prefect blocks webhook prefect blocks webhook Webhook|docs> for webhooks returns a 404 btw

Ty use case is as follows Trying to use automations to set up sending alerts to VictorOps I ve been able to successfully use their to create incidents but as I did in further they parse the email subject to create the entity id which is what s used to dedupe incidents Since the docs only say that email body can be templated that won t work I assume if I used a webhook block to send the notification that would get around this since they parse the for the entity id and I assume that would be templatable But my webhook block doesn t show up in the UI when setting up the automation

Hey josh sorry my alert for mentions of automations didnt fire on this let me dig into why the webhook docs are not working The subject of a notification when using an email block is also templatable actually ill update the docs and ill make the ui look like a code input so its more obvious To answer you question anyway webhooks dont have the notification block methods the lines are a little blurry there this would be evident if you could see the docs but clearly thats broken disappointed I ll figure that out now

Thanks I think email would work fine for my use case if it s templatable although webhook would be a nice alternative For my use case of working with VictorOps the email parsing is a little more limited
