I’m currently receiving user input through

model = Parameter('model_name')

. I want to announce the user input in Slack via my state handler, but when I do it displays as

<Parameter: model_name>

rather than the actual user input. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to display the user input?

Try

prefect.context.parameters["model_name"]

I got this error

AttributeError: 'Context' object has no attribute 'parameters'

🤔

That seems like it’s being evaluated immediately. How are you using the state handler?

Oo I see, I actually tried to print

prefect.context.parameters["model_name"]

directly in the flow, I’ll remove it and try again.

Ah the Flow block is not deferred

Awesome, that worked, thank you very much!!!

Yes but we also have the

case

task to check the value of a task

Got it, thanks!
