Hey everyone! I'm trying to have a task that utilizes the `slack_notifier` . I want some custom text in this this task to show up nicely formatted in slack.
So far, I tried to return my custom text, and `raise SUCCESS(message='my_text')` . Both aren't what I hoped for. Any ideas?

For the builtin slack notifications that show up as nice strings, and not code blocks in slack, `TaskRunner` creates a `Success` object with a message parameter. I don't think I can, or should modify TaskRunner for this purpose.

Hey <@UMMTFT29X>, the <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/master/src/prefect/utilities/notifications/notifications.py#L247-L255|slack_notifier> doesn’t take in a message. You’ll probably want to use the SlackTask instead with a state handler so that you can provide a custom message.

:face_palm:
How come I never think of looking at the task library. Thanks a ton!
