Hi everyone,
I’m looking for advice on improving how we send Slack notifications from Flow Designer.
Current setup
- We use the Flow Designer “Slack Webhooks” action “Post a message” to send notifications to specific channels.
Problem
- It’s not clear which flow or event produced a message unless you open the flow itself.
What I want to do (developer-first)
- I’d like to make messages template-driven (similar to ServiceNow notifications) or include clear metadata so that when a developer needs to modify a notification, they can immediately tell which flow/action/template to edit.
Questions
- Does anyone have recommendations or best practices for doing this with Flow Designer + Slack Webhooks?
- Are there existing patterns, plugins, or integrations that make notifications more maintainable (e.g., centralized templates, variables, or a registry of notification templates)?
- Sample message formats or examples would be especially helpful.
Cheers,
