Prefect Community

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 `&lt;Parameter: model_name&gt;` 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'` :thinking_face:

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.

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

If I wanted to check if the user input was null, I can’t do that in the Flow right? It needs to be its own task?

Yes but we also have the `case` task to check the value of a task
