How to use ZenML with
Slack
from zenml import pipeline, step
from zenml.integrations.slack.steps.slack_alerter_post_step import slack_alerter_post_step
@step
def generate_message() -> str:
return "Hello from ZenML pipeline!"
@pipeline
def slack_alert_pipeline():
message = generate_message()
slack_alerter_post_step(message)
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Ensure you have installed the slack integration
# zenml integration install slack -y
# Make sure you have registered a Slack alerter
# zenml alerter register slack_alerter --flavor=slack --slack_token=<SLACK_TOKEN> --default_slack_channel_id=<SLACK_CHANNEL_ID>
# Ensure you're using an active stack that includes the Slack alerter
# zenml stack register --set my_stack -al slack_alerter ... (other components)
slack_alert_pipeline()
This code example demonstrates a simple ZenML pipeline that sends an alert to a designated Slack channel. The generate_message step creates the message content, which is then passed to the slack_alerter_post_step for posting to Slack. Before running the pipeline, ensure the Slack integration is installed, a Slack alerter is registered with the required token and channel ID, and the alerter is added to the active ZenML stack.
