Hello, Makers!

For many years, I used to get notifications about errors, warnings, and any malfunction on production directly from Slack. Since I started using Make, this has been my biggest issue, as I don’t monitor my email constantly but instead check it twice a day.

It wasn’t a big issue when I was using Make for myself. However, since I manage a portfolio of customers, I decided to build a system that forwards notifications directly to Slack.

I described the final workflow in my article: How to Get Make Error Notifications from Slack.

What’s your way to monitor errors?

You can combine the OpenAI and Parse JSON into a single “Transform text to structured data” module, or use the free Groq “Create a JSON chat completion” module, that outputs data as a collection without needing to use another “Parse JSON” module.

This saves an operation, and if you use Groq it’s a free alternative to OpenAI.

Example

Here is a Groq example on how to specify the variables that you want to match from the text content. This setup is also similar to what you’d do with the OpenAI Structured Data module.

(Google’s about page didn’t contain any Google email or phone numbers, so it was left empty)

Hope this helps!

Thanks, @Lucas_Ostrowski, for sharing. You inspired me to share my Make Notification to Slack methodology too.
