Asset Bundles Email/Notifications Prod ONly

[rriley2]

Howdy, 

I've got a job 'job1' and my dev/stg/prod target in my databricks.yaml

Currently, I have this configurationfor  my job:

email_notifications:
 on_success:
  - me@myorg.com
 on_failure:
  - me@myorg.com
webhook_notifications:
 on_failure:
  - id: ${var.webhook_uuid}

I'd like to ultimately like the following conditions:

• dev: nothing, this is paused (solved this problem already)
• stg: email only on failure
• prod: email on success and failure, webhook on failure.

I've tried just setting the variable to be empty and this is a violation in the databricks validate task.

I've tried setting the webhook uuid to some junk and that also fails.

Any advice would be lovely!

Hi rriley2,

How are you doing today?, As per my understanding, Yeah, Databricks doesn’t allow empty values for email_notifications or webhook_notifications, so the trick is to use YAML conditionals and defaults to handle different environments without validation errors. A good way to do this is by setting up YAML anchors to define common notification settings and then overriding them per environment. For example, in dev, you can just set {} for both email and webhook to disable notifications. In stg, keep email only for failures, and in prod, enable both success/failure emails and webhook on failure. This avoids using junk values while keeping the config clean and flexible. Let me know if you need a sample YAML file—I’ve got you covered! 

Regards,

Brahma

Hmmm so something like this:

targets:
  dev:
    resources:
      jobs:
        Workflow1:
          email_notifications: {}
          webhook_notifications: {}
  stage:
    resources:
      jobs:
        Workflow1:
          email_notifications:
            on_success:
              - me@myorg.com
            on_failure:
              - me@myorg.com
          webhook_notifications:
            on_failure:
              - id: stg_id
  prod:
    resources:
      jobs:
        Workflow1:
          email_notifications:
            on_success:
              - me@myorg.com
            on_failure:
              - me@myorg.com
          webhook_notifications:
            on_failure:
              - id: prod_id

So I would have to push the resource into the target keys to add environment variance. That makes sense. If I get this to work, I will post again. 

Thanks!

This is exactly what I did! Thanks!
