Prefect Community

Hi, we had configured Slack notifications to be triggered on failure and success. However we're noticing failure messages arent getting reported. What could be the potential reason for this? We're running a self hosted prefect server

Hi <@U03TTBZSFNJ>, can you share some code examples for how you are configuring the notifications?

For me it also stopped working on prefect cloud.
2 days ago it was still working. I have entered the Slack webhook url and set to send message on crash/fail. In the code it can be a simple Exception that is raised and not caught, that would result in a Slack notification.

I also tried a new notification with a custom URL where I am able to monitor all requests. I cannot see any requests sent from prefect. So it looks like the notification is never sent or it does not arrive.

Now it is magically working again for the Slack webhooks

But when I use a custom URL I don’t see the notification.
Is it limited to `<https://hooks.slack.com/XXX>` or can I put any custom URL there?

It's odd because I've been testing and haven't been able to get a notification for just Failed on the slack webhook.  Which version are you using?

I currently use prefect 2.6.9

Getting notifications only for failed and crashed worked perfectly for me for months. Earlier today I didn’t get any notification but now it works again.

I just filed <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/issues/7964> since I'm still not able to trigger the slack webhook for a Failed state from notifications on 2.7.3

Double checking <@U03TTBZSFNJ> that this is resolved now?
