Overview

Introduction​

The Astro platform supports two types of notification providers: slack and email. It is always best to configure notifications so that you can receive information about the cluster's state. Additionally, enabling notification is highly recommended for cluster creation as it allows you to monitor the progress of the cluster creation.

Email Notification

To enable email based notifications, please send email to contact@astropulse.io for your account. Future releases will make this feature available to all users.

Configuring Notification Providers​

You can configure the notification providers in the notification section of the cluster setup configuration file. Here are examples for both Slack and email based notifications:

Slack Notification​

For Slack webhook URLs, refer to the Slack documentation to create one. The following is an example to enable Slack notification on cluster API request:

notification:
  type: slack
  slack:
    webhookURL: https://hooks.slack.com/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX # change to your Slack webhook URL

Email Notification​

notification:
  type: email
  email:
    receiver: user@example.com # change to your email address

Approval Workflow​

The approval workflow requires notification to be enabled; otherwise, the request will fail. The approval workflow generates either Slack or email notifications, depending on the type of notification provider configured. The link must be clicked to approve or reject the request. If the request is rejected, the cluster request will fail, and you must delete the request and create it again. If the request is approved, the cluster creation workflow will continue.

Enabling Approval Workflow with Slack Notification

notification:
  type: slack
  slack:
    webhookURL: https://hooks.slack.com/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX # change to your Slack webhook URL
approvalWorkflow: true
