Hi team, 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!
Basically, looking to enhance the below message:
Hi team request you to please help with this. If it is already covered, kindly point me in that direction. Thanks!
Sorry tagging you out of the blue @Jake Kaplan , but would you be able to please guide me here?

Hi are you using Automations with Cloud or are you using notifications in the self hosted version?

Hi Jake Sorry for late response! I am using the blocks for notification on prefect cloud v2. Does that help?
@Jake Kaplan Tagging you for my response.

Hi apologies, I don't always get the notifications. You should be able to set the subject on the notification automation with templated values
additionally you if you two different automations for success/failure states, you can configure the notify type on the block itself
i'm not quite as familiar with teams, but at least for slack that corresponds to a color

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

If 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")
if 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: https://docs.prefect.io/latest/guides/state-change-hooks/?h=state+hooks#state-change-hooks
and put your notification logic inside of the 
on_completion
, 
on_failure
hooks

Thank you so much @Jake Kaplan!!
