Matillion ETL Shared Job

Send Message to Slack

Send a message or alert to Slack from a Matillion ETL orchestration job.

The best place to use this is immediately after another job or component.

Parameter	Description
Incoming Webhook URL	Your Incoming Webhook URL for Slack (see prerequisites below)
Message Icon Emoji	Emoji to use in the message border. Specify the name enclosed by colons, e.g. :information_source:
Message Pretext	The prefix for the banner on the Slack message
Message Text Header	Text to add prior to the job details in the Slack message
Message Title	Slack message title
Message Title Link	Hyperlink for the title of the message in Slack
Parent Job Name	The name of the job we are reporting on. Set to `${job_name}` to use the name of the job containing this shared job
Run Status	The status we are reporting on. Valid values are SUCCESS, FAILURE or leave blank. To report on a prior job or component, export the Status variable and use the value `${run_status}` here
Run Timezone	Timezone reference for where the job is running. Some key values: UTC, Europe/London, US/Eastern. A full timezone list is here

Create an Incoming Webhook in Slack. Keep your webhook URL secret and safe, because the URL itself contains a secret.
