Slack requires a webhook url or a slack token, but I didn’t find from the docs how to pass either of these. The docs speak of SNS/SQS or pub-sub queues. Does the slack integration actually send to slack, or are we expected to use the sns/sqs to do it ourselves?

flyte notifications rely on email actually. all the notifications including slack are email based.

slack has an email endpoint that you can hit to turn into a slack notification

the sns/sqs bits are how the notifications work.

sns/sqs are used for ensuring that notifications get sent, or at least substantially increasing the probability that messages are sent.

when a notification needs to happen, a message is sent to sns. amazon delivers that to sqs, and a background goroutine in admin will poll sqs for notifications. when it sees one it’ll send it out.
