Alerts

Receive alerts through Slack or an incoming webhook when your Workflow fails

What are Alerts?

Alerts allow you to receive notifications in Slack or through an incoming webhook when your Workflow returns an error.

Slack Action

When an alert containing a Slack action is triggered, the Slack action sends a message to the selected channel including the Workflow name, error message, and a link to the execution:

Webhook Action

When an alert containing a Webhook action is triggered, the Webhook action sends a POST request to the selected url, with a JSON body containing metadata about the errored execution, such as Workflow, Execution id, error message, and more:

{
  "status": "error",
  "id": 72367362,
  "source": "web",
  "user_id": 9000,
  "airops_app_id": 9999,
  "output": null,
  "error_code": "SENSITIVE_CONTENT",
  "error_message": "Content contains sensitive data"
}
