Hi @kapa.ai I have setup a slack notification in airbyte using slack webhook but i noticed that I am missing some sync failure though i get some . _ what could be the possible reason and how to troubleshoot ? Are this alerts specific to users profile ?

The Slack notifications in Airbyte are not specific to a user's profile. They are configured at a system level and should notify you of all sync failures. If you are missing some sync failure notifications, there could be a few reasons: 1. Rate Limiting: Slack has rate limit restrictions. If you're sending too many requests in a short period of time, some of them might be dropped. You can check Slack's rate limit documentation for more details. 2. Webhook Issues: There have been instances where the webhook test fails due to a bad response format or issues with specific Airbyte versions. Upgrading to a newer version of Airbyte might resolve this issue. For example, an issue with the webhook test failing was reported in Airbyte version
0.50.7
and was resolved in version
0.50.8
[[source]](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/25007). 3. Sync Failures: If a sync fails, Airbyte will automatically attempt to replicate data 3 times. If all these attempts fail, no data will be added or updated in your destination, and you should receive a notification about the sync failure [[source]](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/77). To troubleshoot, you can: - Check the Airbyte logs for any errors or issues during the sync process. - Verify that your Slack webhook URL is valid and correctly configured in Airbyte. - Upgrade to the latest version of Airbyte if you're using an older version. - Check if you're hitting Slack's rate limit. - If you're still facing issues, you can ask for help on the Airbyte Slack channel or file a GitHub issue with the detailed logs copied in the issue’s description [[source]](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/77). Remember, Airbyte is open source, so you can also look into the code and try to fix the issue yourself if it's important to you.
