Hey community, would there be a way to set an `Automation` for notifications for all flows except `flow_name` as an option ? Or would I need to do something custom to do that?

Hi Ben.  For a state change automation you can do that from the UI. (Select all and then de-select your flow). For flow SLA automations (does not start etc) it’s more complicated. 

From the backend, we don't support a "not" operator so you'll need to specify every flow except the one you want to exclude.

You could set up an automation for all flows to a custom url (just a plain Webhook) and you can do anything you want with the payload from there (like exclude some flows)

ah ok cool, I assume with deselecting one flow, when new flows are added, they will then need to be manually added into the automation. That is what I was trying to dodge

Ah yes you're right. Michael’s suggestion might be the one to investigate here.
