Slack notification for single job
Hey guys,
I'm trying to configure build failure notification only for one job in a build with multiple jobs and I cannot find how to do that. It seems like the matrix configuration does not work for notifications, or I misused it. Could you please assist or guide me to proper documentation?

Hi Yuriy,
It's notifications could be configured on "build" level, not "build job" level, i.e. it's not possible to trigger notifications for specific jobs, only entire build.
However, I see a few solutions/workarounds here. First, if you don't "care" about the results of other jobs, you can declare them under
matrix.allow_failures, so only the job you are interested in will determine the result of the entire build and trigger "right" notification.Another option would be programmatically send notification in
on_failuresection of that job. If it's Slack it could be done in curl or PowerShell one-liner I believe.Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply Feodor. Yes, it is helpful. I will look for an on_failure option.
