Prefect Community

What is the recommended means by which one can send a slack notification from inside of a task? It looks like the prefect-slack task does not work if called as a function?

I've been using the `SlackWebhook` block to do this...

```from prefect.blocks.notifications import SlackWebhook

slack_webhook_block = SlackWebhook.load("BLOCK_NAME")
slack_webhook_block.notify("Hello from Prefect!")```
<https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/blocks/notifications.py#L82|There is a note in the >`notifications.py`<https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/blocks/notifications.py#L82| code >about moving this to `prefect-slack` though.

I've created an issue <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect-slack/issues/43|here> as i am not to sure why this would not work. Given there is nothing "prefect-critical" going on inside of `send_chat_message` I do not see a reason as to why .fn() should fail silently
