07/02/2021, 4:40 PMIf you want to set up a notification about flow states etc you can use the automations tab on the dashboard or cloud hooks in flow settings. (Or the relevant hook mutations).

Also, I think automations are only available on Cloud, not Server :(

Yes they are a Cloud only feature. What do you mean by custom notification?

There are Cloud Hooks in Server that support Prefect Messages
