Ops pager — Slack alert on failure

FAILURE-ALERT PRESET: the Error Trigger's recovery lane posts straight to Slack — import, point the Slack node at your channel credential, done. The demo fails on purpose so the lane fires; the console mirrors what the Slack message would say. Pair with meta.autoreplay for retry-then-page.

What’s inside

5 nodes — every type links to its full reference page.

StepNodeType
Nightly export Inject input.inject
Export (fails) Stop and Error error-handling.stop-and-error
On failure Error Trigger error-handling.error
Slack #oncall Slack output.slack
Alert mirror Console utility.console

Import it

  1. Studio → Import — paste the JSON below (or the URL /docs/templates/ops-pager-slack-alert-on-failure.json).
  2. Or ask the AI Copilot with the JSON pasted after the phrase:
    import this workflow json into a new workflow named "Ops pager — Slack alert on failure"
  3. Any credentials the nodes need are ${credential.…} references — add them once in Admin → Credentials and the template picks them up. Nothing secret ships in a template.
