Hey there! I've got another question regarding owners. Maybe it's a feature request, do let me know if it is. All our owners are set as follows:

{{
    config(
        , owner="belledeveer@crisp.nl"
        , tags=['<tag>']
    )
}}

and are used in this way for other Slack Apps to tag persons. Is there a way to make Elementary use the email address instead like this, instead of a handle in meta?

Hi @Belle de Veer, just tested it locally and it worked, so I think you can 🙂 let me know if that works for you as well

Thanks @Ella Katz. Apologies, should have mentioned that it is not working for me. Did you add some settings that I should copy?

I used the meta section:

tests:
            - not_null:
                meta:
                    owner: "<mailto:ella@elementary-data.com|ella@elementary-data.com>"

in the config block it'll look like:

{{ config(meta = {
    'owner': '<mailto:ella@elementary-data.com|ella@elementary-data.com>'
}) }}

Check. I would like to leave the code as is, as it's being used like this in other ways. So not using meta. I'm assuming that's not possible?

unfortunately no. Our slack alerts don't work with this field, they are reading the owner from our own field (to make sure it's a slack-friendly one, while the dbt owner can be anything). You can also use "subscribers" as documented here
