In order to integrate slack (through the

state_handler

) with prefect cloud, does the webhook URL have to be stored in Prefect Secrets, or can it just be available as an environment variable (my use case would be loading an eternal secret to an eks cluster)

Hey @Leon Kozlowski, the

run

method of the SlackTask has a webhook_url kwarg. You can use that task inside a state handler by invoking the run method

Ok, I was looking at this - it looks like

slack_notifier

explicitly loads a Prefect Secret

That…is kinda deprecated

I see

I dunno, it will work, but I don’t think it gives you the same flexibility as the SlackTask

I can prob just use

SlackTask

Yeah you can use it in a state handler with

SlackTask.run()
