I am fairly new to Prefect. Couple of weeks back, we were experimenting with Teams block (notifications).
Our use case is to send notifications summarizing all the statuses of different tasks.
What I need help is on the following:
• I want to keep the Teams channels limited, that is 1 teams channel to communicate status of multiple flows. And Teams notifications creates a new conversation for each notification. How can we create the subject for this conversation so that it clearly highlights details about what job/flow it is about?
• Plus, some color coding on statuses would definitely segregate success vs failures
Please help me point to right resources. Thanks!

Sorry for late response! I am using the blocks for notification on prefect cloud v2. Does that help?

09/07/2023, 3:40 PMHi apologies, I don't always get the notifications. You should be able to set the subject on the notification automation with templated values

09/07/2023, 3:41 PMadditionally you if you two different automations for success/failure states, you can configure the notify type on the block itself

Thank you! I see!
Can this happen without automation? when we are using a block? Because we are going to pass custom messages.

09/07/2023, 6:43 PMIf you want to use the blocks directly inside of your code I think you can set the notify type on the block and then the subject in the notify method
Copy code
# things worked
block = MicrosoftTeamsWebhook(notify_type="success")
block.notify(body="", subject="something worked")
block = MicrosoftTeamsWebhook(notify_type="failure")
block.notify(body="", subject="something failed")Jake Kaplan
09/07/2023, 6:44 PMif you want to tie it directly to the success/failure state of your flow run, automations is a great way to do it, but if you need it to be in code you can use:
