Have you ever wondered if there is a way to create a dedicated Slack channel that will notify you when a River had been failed? Good news! It is completely doable and will only take you a few minutes to create it!
*Prerequisite - Slack Paid plan
Steps -
-
In your Slack application, create/decide about a dedicated channel that you wish to receive your alert on failure notifications (In our example the “rivery-river-failure-alert” is the channel’s name)
-
Open the channel you’d like to send an email to
-
Click on the channel or member name(s) in the conversation header -
-
Click the Integrations tab and Select Send emails to this channel -
-
Click on the Get Email Address button
-
Copy the channel’s dedicated email address
-
After creating a channel’s dedicated email address, go to your Rivery console’s Variables tab and add the copied address to the {Mail_Alert_Group} variable -
-
Make sure that the “On Failure” notification contains the {Mail_Alert_Group} variable -
-
Test the process by deliberately failing a specific River. If you set the process correctly, the mail alert will appear in your dedicated channel -
That’s it! your River alert on failure channel is set!
