To send a Slack message every time a Pipedream workflow is successful or encounters an error, you can add a Slack step at the end of your workflow. First, make sure you have the Slack app connected to your Pipedream account. 1. In your Pipedream workflow, click on the “+” button to add a new step. 2. Search for “Slack” in the app search bar. 3. Choose the “Send a message” action. 4. Configure the action by selecting the Slack channel you want to send the message to and entering the message text. You can include information about the workflow status (success or error) in the message text. For error handling, Pipedream sends notifications by default when your workflow throws an unhandled error. You can learn more about error handling in Pipedream at Settings. If you want to customize the error handling and send a Slack message specifically for errors, you can use a try-catch block in a Node.js code step to catch errors and send a Slack message accordingly. Here’s an example: try { // Your workflow steps or code here } catch (error) { // Send a Slack message with the error details await steps.send_slack_error.run({ error: error.message }); // Optionally, you can re-throw the error if you want the workflow to stop throw error; } In this example, replace steps.send_slack_error with the name of your Slack “Send a message” step. Make sure to pass the error message as a parameter to the step. Remember to configure the Slack “Send a message” step to include the error details in the message text using the {{error}} variable.
