Why this helps

- Surface reported failures in a team conversation.
- Include the supplied error details and affected item.
- Make the next troubleshooting step easy to see.

- 3Describe posting a Slack alert for reported failures with supplied error and recovery context.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one representative failure example.
Questions about this workflow
Does Cloudlayer provide a failure trigger?
No Cloudlayer trigger events are listed. A Notis webhook must receive the failure report to start this workflow.
Can the alert diagnose the error?
It can summarize information included in the request. It should not invent a root cause or recovery step absent from that information.
