@kapa.ai, can I embed a link to my orchestrator job in the Report Summary Slack message?

No, this isn’t currently supported in the open‑source Elementary package. The available behavior for Slack report summaries is: - If you host the report on S3/GCS and use
edr send-report
with the hosting flags (e.g.
--s3-bucket-name
/
--gcs-bucket-name
and
--update-bucket-website true
), Elementary will include a link to the hosted HTML report in the Slack summary. [[Send summary](https://docs.elementary-data.com/oss/guides/share-observability-report/send-report-summary)] - There is no built‑in way to add custom text or arbitrary URLs (like an orchestrator job link) into that Slack summary message. Multiple users asked for similar capabilities (job/orchestrator links, custom URLs), and the responses confirm it’s not supported today and is tracked as a feature request. [[Job info alerts](https://elementary-community.slack.com/archives/C02CTC89LAX/p1700642681686599); [Custom URL in summary](https://elementary-community.slack.com/archives/C02CTC89LAX/p1729618316203879)] There is an open GitHub issue to include orchestrator job metadata (name, run URL, etc.) in alerts, but it’s not part of the released OSS behavior yet. [[GitHub issue 1944](https://github.com/elementary-data/elementary/issues/1944)] So with the current OSS version, you cannot embed your orchestrator job link directly into the Report Summary Slack message; you’d need to send a separate Slack message (e.g., via a webhook in your orchestrator or CI) if you want that link alongside the Elementary summary.

@kapa.ai I thought the new CLI version had this, referencing Noya’s message here: https://elementary-community.slack.com/archives/C02BPB78J4T/p1769689073394419

The knowledge sources I have don’t include Noya’s specific Slack message or any confirmation that a new CLI version now supports adding orchestrator job links to the Report Summary Slack message. What I can see is: - Historically, adding orchestrator/job info (name, URL, run URL) to alerts has been a requested feature and is tracked in an open GitHub issue, with implementation guidelines but no released behavior documented yet. [[Include jobs data](https://github.com/elementary-data/elementary/issues/1944)] - There are also discussions about adding a timezone parameter for the Slack report summary, where it’s explicitly noted that some timestamp options exist for alerts but not yet for the report summary. [[Timezone for summary](https://github.com/elementary-data/elementary/issues/1879)] - I don’t have any doc or Slack excerpt in the provided sources that says “the new CLI now lets you embed orchestrator job links in the report summary message.” Because of that, I can’t reliably confirm that the latest CLI supports what you’re describing. It’s possible Noya’s message refers to a feature that’s been discussed or is behind a feature flag, but it’s not reflected in the docs or threads I can see. Given this limitation, the safest answer based on the available sources is: - As of the information I have, there is no documented, generally available OSS feature to embed orchestrator job links directly into the Report Summary Slack message. - Orchestrator/job metadata in alerts is under active discussion/implementation, but not clearly released or documented yet. [[Include jobs data](https://github.com/elementary-data/elementary/issues/1944)] To be sure about Noya’s specific statement, you’d need to either: - Check the exact Slack thread you linked for mention of a feature flag / version number, and - Compare it with the release notes or
edr send-report --help
in your installed version.
