This tutorial walks you through building a project automation triggered by run status: when a run in your project transitions to Failed, W&B sends a Slack notification.


For guidance creating a Registry automation, see Tutorial: Registry artifact alias automation.

​
Prerequisites

​
Create a project automation

Follow these instructions to set up a project-scoped automation: When a run in the project transitions to Failed, W&B sends a Slack notification.
  1. Open the project and click the Automations tab in the sidebar, then click Create automation.
  2. Choose the event Run state change. Set the state to Failed. Optionally add a run name or user filter to limit which runs trigger the automation.
  3. Click Next step. Set Action type to Slack notification and select the Slack channel.
  4. Click Next step. Give the automation a name (for example, “Run failure alert”) and an optional description, then click Create automation.
For more detail, see Create a Slack automation (Project tab).

​
Test the automation

Create a run and log it to the project, explicitly marking it as failed: 
import wandb

with wandb.init(project="my-project") as run:
    run.log({"loss": 1.23})
    run.finish(exit_code=1)
Within a short time you should see a Slack message with the run link and status.
