11/18/2020, 9:32 PMHi, I am working on a slack handler where I want to be notified only if the overall flow failed, not individual tasks. This is for a flow that is being registered via an agent, not run directly. I was looking at https://docs.prefect.io/core/advanced_tutorials/slack-notifications.html#customizing-your-alerts but it appears to be at task level, not flow level. Is there a good example in the docs for being notified on flow failure? ty!
