I’d like Mitto to send a notification to a company slack channel when my master sequence fails. I’m not sure where to find the Slack URL to add to the webhook configuration in Mitto.
Is this something I generate for myself, per Mitto job, or does a single URL exist for a Slack workspace?
A Mitto job can send a POST request via a webhook on a job event (start, complete, success, and/or failure).
To send a POST request to Slack you need a Slack app that is configured for incoming webhooks. Here’s the Slack documentation on setting that up: Sending messages using Incoming Webhooks | Slack
Thanks! So does this become a best practices question as to if each Slack user creates their own app vs having a company wide app that users can collaborate with?
Zuar has a company wide app for internal Mitto alerting purposes. Certain Slack plans have a limit on the number of apps. I would assume having a single app rather than app per person is the best practice.
Here’s a POST request template I use for Mitto job notifications in Slack:
Event: JOB_FAILURE
Method: POST
Content Type: application/json
Body:
{
"text": "Job Failed!: ${system['fqdn']} - ${job['title']}\nhttps://${system['fqdn']}/#!/job/${job['id']}"
}
Example result:
This example uses Slack’s Block Kit.
Event: JOB_FAILURE
Method: POST
Content Type: application/json
Body:
{
"blocks": [
{
"type": "section",
"text": {
"type": "mrkdwn",
"text": ":rotating_light: Mitto Job Failed!"
}
},
{
"type": "section",
"text": {
"type": "mrkdwn",
"text": "Mitto URL: https://${system['fqdn']}\nJob Title: ${job['title']}\nJob URL: https://${system['fqdn']}/#!/job/${job['id']}"
}
}
]
}
Example result:
