Hi! Is there any way to test an automation with slack? I configured an automation so every flow that changes its state to failed send a notification to slack, but it’s not working. Should I use https:// or just the following part of the webhook? Thank you in advance!

are you using the built in slack notifier? did you write your own? are you getting an error or is it just doing nothing?

Mine looks like this

Thank you for your responses! I am not using any task directly. I was about to configure a cloud hook, but then I read that Automations are the evolution so I tried them. The automation is like:

When any run from any flow changes to failed then slack_webhook

where my secret is slack_webhook (its similar to yours @Kevin Kho). I discovered than in the notifications dashboard something is going wrong:

The SlackNotificationAction (741a20f1-e682-4c4d-86bf-79cef1aff839) has failed with 'AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute '_uri_reference'' during execution triggered by FlowRunStateChangedEvent event from hook d2b303de-9d57-4716-a46c-6b4c5bd480b0

Ok will ask the team about this.

Thank you!

Hey @jcozar -- it looks like you've set the secret to a dict (JSON blob) instead of a string (which is what we require)

You are right! I don’t know why it detected automatically the json format instead of string (maybe I missclick dict instead of string). Thank you!
