Hi all, I was wondering if there is any way to customize the titles of the alerts sent to slack, as shown in the screenshot. These are seen by stakeholder, so if it would be possible to customize each test's title, the result would be much nicer. AI told me there's no way, but I was hoping that maybe somebody has a workaround or something. Thank you in advance!

Hey @George Tzanakis! In Elementary cloud we're building alerts for business users and stakeholders that are a little different, as the whole product is more focused on collaboration than the OSS. You can see it here if you're curious - under Custom Alerts for business users. https://www.elementary-data.com/business-users Is isn't currently possible in OSS, but what would you ideally change it to?

Hey @Noya Offer and thank you for the reply!

Ideally I would like to override completely the title of the slack alert (i.e. the red rectangle box in my original screenshot). dbt actually gives the option of adding a

name

property inside the test, but this is not really working here, as even a human-friendly name will be enclosed in technical jargon (see current screenshot). But, to answer your question: We would like to be able to completely override the title of the alert, in order to eliminate all the technical jargon (bigquery projects, datasets, tables, etc), as these alerts are sent directly to stakeholder slack channels. It's not really something urgent, it's rather cosmetic, but it gives an element of noise to non-technical people. Maybe another cli parameter that could override the alert title would be nice.

Also, you can add a description to the tests to make them more self explanatory to other users!

Yup! Very helpful indeed, have done this already, thanks!
