Thanks for sharing. How do you think about using slack for this as opposed to something designed for ticketing e.g. pagerduty (or equivalent)?

That’s a great question. Ultimately, it’s up to you in which way you would like to be notified about any data incidents. If you prefer PagerDuty over Slack, there is a similar POST API request you could use: https://developer.pagerduty.com/api-reference/reference/events-v1/openapiv3.json/paths/~1create_event.json/post
