wandb alert failed error 'Slack integration not configured for this team' failure

TL;DR

The alert call is fine; the team's Slack integration is not connected on the W and B side: an admin must connect Slack in the team settings and authorise the workspace before any run alert can deliver. Verify by sending a test alert from the team settings, then re-run the alert call; code-side changes cannot substitute for the missing integration.

wandb alert failed error 'Slack integration not configured for this team' failure

Use this when

• The run or call fails with this symptom: Slack integration not configured for this team from a wandb alert call.
• You are working on a wandb run raising alerts to a team Slack channel and the failure repeats on the same run or configuration.
• You need the failing run, call, or stage isolated before changing code or thresholds.

Not for this skill when

• An alert addressed to a channel the integration was never invited to, where the fix is inviting the app to that channel.
• The error text names a different tool, stage, or root cause. Match the verbatim error first and use that skill.

Steps

1. Open the team settings and check whether Slack appears as a connected integration. Verify: the integration state is confirmed
2. Have a team admin connect Slack and authorise the intended workspace and channel. Verify: Slack shows connected for the team
3. Send the settings page's test alert and confirm it lands in the channel. Verify: a test message arrives in Slack
4. Trigger the run's alert again and confirm delivery with the run link attached. Verify: the real alert posts successfully

Why it happens

Alerts deliver through a team-level integration that is configured once by an admin, separate from any run or user setting. Code can be perfectly correct and still fail every alert until that organisational step exists.

Edge cases / pitfalls

• Personal Slack connections do not cover team alerts; the team integration is the one the alert path checks.
• After reconnecting Slack, channel memberships reset; re-invite the app to private channels.
