To integrate Elementary with your dbt Core project and receive notifications in Slack, follow these steps: 1. Install the Elementary dbt package and CLI - Add the Elementary dbt package to your

packages.yml

. - Install the Elementary CLI and configure your dbt profile as described in the [quickstart guide](https://docs.elementary-data.com/oss/quickstart/quickstart-cli-package). 2. Create a Slack App - Go to the [Slack app creation page](https://api.slack.com/apps?new_app=1) and create a new app for your workspace. - (Optional) Customize the app display and icon. 3. Set Up Slack Integration - Token method (recommended): - In your Slack app, go to "OAuth & Permissions" and add these Bot Token Scopes: -

channels:join

-

channels:read

-

chat:write

-

files:write

-

users:read

-

users:read.email

-

groups:read

- Install the app to your workspace to generate a Slack token. - Webhook method (alternative): - Enable "Incoming Webhooks" in your Slack app. - Add a new webhook to the desired channel and copy the webhook URL. 4. Configure Elementary to Use Slack - You can pass the Slack token or webhook directly as CLI parameters or via a config file. - Using CLI parameters: - For token:

edr monitor --slack-token <your_slack_token> --slack-channel-name <slack_channel>

- For webhook:

edr monitor --slack-webhook <your_slack_webhook_url>

- Using a config file (

~/.edr/config.yml

): - For token:

yaml        slack:          token: <your_slack_token>          channel_name: <slack_channel>          group_alerts_by: table  # or alert

- For webhook:

yaml        slack:          notification_webhook: <your_slack_webhook_url>          group_alerts_by: table  # or alert

5. Run Your dbt Tests and Send Alerts - After running your dbt models and tests (e.g.,

dbt run

and

dbt test

), execute:

edr monitor

- This will send alerts to your configured Slack channel for any detected issues. For more details and troubleshooting, see the official [Elementary Slack setup guide](https://docs.elementary-data.com/oss/deployment-and-configuration/slack) and [Slack alerts guide](https://docs.elementary-data.com/oss/guides/alerts/send-slack-alerts). If you encounter issues, make sure your Slack app has the correct permissions and is installed in your workspace. Also, ensure your Elementary CLI and dbt package are properly configured and up to date.
