Notify Teams when a job fails

Recipe Tools

What it does

When a job fails in specified integrations, this automation posts a message to Teams so someone knows right away. The channel gets the failure details and can act on the problem.

Who it's for

Engineering teams who monitor jobs and need to respond to failures without leaving Teams.

How teams use this

Alert engineers to production job failures

Post a Teams message when a critical job fails so the engineering team can respond fast. The alert includes the job and integration details needed to troubleshoot.

Route failures to different channels by integration

Send job failure alerts to different Teams channels based on which integration failed. Data pipeline failures go to one channel, customer sync failures to another.

Notify operations of failed jobs

Post job failure notifications to an operations channel so the team can track downtime and coordinate with engineering. Include the failure timestamp and integration name.

Include error logs in the notification

Add error logs and stack traces to the Teams message so engineers see the root cause without opening the platform. Set the message to include the error details and timestamp.

How it works

  1. Detect a job failure. Monitor specified integrations in real-time and trigger this automation the moment a job fails so the team is notified immediately.
  2. Alert the team in Teams. Post a message to Teams with the job failure details, including the job name and error message, so the channel can investigate or escalate.
