Slack notifications when deployments succeed or fail

You can get notified either on Slack or Pagerduty when a deployed flow succeeds or fails.

Setting up Slack notifications​

Follow these instructions to make deployed workflows send a message on a Slack channel when they succeed or fail.

1. Set up a Slack webhook​

Follow these instructions on Slack to set up incoming webhooks for your Slack workspace.

2. Find the webhook URL​

You should now have a webhook URL that Slack provides. Here is an example webhook:

https://hooks.slack.com/services/T0XXXXXXXXX/B0XXXXXXXXX/qZXXXXXX

3. Deploy with a Slack webhook​

To enable notifications on Slack when your Metaflow flow running on Argo Workflows succeeds or fails, deploy it using the --notify-on-error or --notify-on-success flags, like here:

python flow.py argo-workflows create
     --notify-on-error
     --notify-on-success
     --notify-slack-webhook-url <slack-webhook-url>

To get notified by default, set an environment variable

METAFLOW_ARGO_WORKFLOWS_CREATE_NOTIFY_SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL=<slack-webhook-url>

Next time your workflow succeeds or fails on Argo Workflows, you will get a helpful notification on Slack:

Setting up PagerDuty notifications​

Follow these instructions to make deployed workflows send an event to PagerDuty upon failure or success. You can hook up the event to your on-call policies.

1. Set up Events integration on PagerDuty​

Follow these instructions on PagerDuty to set up an Events API V2 integration for your PagerDuty service:

set up event integration on pagerduty set up event integration on pagerduty

2. Find the integration key​

You should be able to view the required integration key from the Events API V2 dropdown:

find the integration key

3. Deploy with a PagerDuty key​

To enable notifications on PagerDuty when your Metaflow flow running on Argo Workflows succeeds or fails, deploy it using the --notify-on-error or --notify-on-success flags:

python flow.py argo-workflows create
    --notify-on-error
    --notify-on-success
    --notify-pager-duty-integration-key <pagerduty-integration-key>

To get notified by default, set an environment variable

METAFLOW_ARGO_WORKFLOWS_CREATE_NOTIFY_PAGER_DUTY_INTEGRATION_KEY=<pager-duty-integration-key>

Next time the flow fails or succeeds, you should receive a new event on PagerDuty under Incidents (Flow failed) or Changes (Flow succeeded).
