Notifications

A notification node is used to compose and send the data from previous nodes in your CloudFlow to email or Slack. For example, you may have a CloudFlow that retrieves a list of active cost anomalies. You can add a notification node to send the list to the relevant stakeholders, enabling efficient identification and faster resolution. Furthermore, you may have a CloudFlow used solely for sharing information. This is useful for sending both on-demand or scheduled information, outside the context of a specific action or event. For example, a daily CloudFlow that sends a summary of key performance indicators to the leadership team or a scheduled CloudFlow that reminds team members of an approaching deadline.

• Notification provider: Specifies whether to notify the approver via Slack or email. For the former, you should have created a shared Slack channel with DoiT. Depending on the notification provider you choose, enter the email address or Slack channel that needs to be notified.

• Message: A message for the recipient. You can add fields from previous nodes to your message. When the message is created, the data from the field is displayed in the message. This is useful because it provides recipients with the details they need to make a decision without having to navigate to the system and manually search for the relevant information. An array of fields are displayed as a comma-separated list. For example, Instance ID: i-123,i-466.
