Notify
Send a human a heads-up from inside a workflow — the most common "last step" on any automation. Two channels:
- Slack — post the message to a Slack Incoming Webhook URL you paste into the node. No OAuth or Slack app install needed: in Slack, open api.slack.com → Your Apps → Incoming Webhooks, create one for the channel you want, and paste the
https://hooks.slack.com/services/…URL. - Email — send the message through the platform's mailer to one of your own account emails (you, or an active team member).
When to use
- Alert your team the moment something important happens — a VIP deposit, a risk flag, a failed KYC check.
- Close the loop on an automation: "the workflow ran, here's the result".
- Get pinged when an approval (Wait for Approval) or long-running flow needs eyes.
Configuration
| Field | Required | What it does |
|---|---|---|
mode | Yes | slack or email (default slack). |
webhookUrl | Slack mode | The Slack Incoming-Webhook URL to post to. Must be https://. |
recipient | Email mode | Picked from your account emails only — your operator email plus active team members. Arbitrary addresses are not allowed. |
subject | No | Email subject. Supports {{...}} refs. Blank = a default subject. |
message | Yes | The message body. Supports {{...}} refs, so you can include data from earlier steps. |
Example
[Event Trigger: deposit] → [Condition: amount ≥ 5000] → [Notify]
mode: slack
message: 💰 VIP deposit: {{trigger.data.player_id}}
deposited {{trigger.data.amount}} {{trigger.data.currency}}What it outputs
{ sent: true, mode: "slack" }Gotchas
- Email recipients are locked to your own account. The dropdown only offers your operator email and active team-member emails, and the engine re-checks the stored recipient server-side before every send — a recipient outside your account fails the node. This is deliberate (v1 anti-spam constraint), not a bug.
- The Slack URL is a credential. Anyone with an incoming-webhook URL can post to that channel — treat it like a token and rotate it in Slack if it leaks.
- Slack failures fail the node. A deleted/revoked webhook returns
404/410from Slack and the node errors — wrap it in Try / Catch if the notification is best-effort. - Feature-flagged. The node runs only when
notify_node_enabledis on; when it's off the node errors clearly (and it doesn't appear in the Add-Node palette). - Counts as an Action. Each successful notification bills one Action, like other action nodes.
