Hey all, last week I was working on tap-meltano (https://github.com/Matatika/tap-meltano) so I could get jobs metrics out of some of our Meltano projects and report on them. I've got the tap up and running, created some dbt transforms (https://github.com/Matatika/dbt-tap-meltano) and even have datasets and charts in our platform for reporting, but the next thing I wanted to approach was making email alerts based on this info. Has anyone made/used/found some sort of email alerts/reporting plugin?

Reverse etl! Make a target for whatever mail system you want, then it's just tap-meltano -> dbt -> target-materialization -> target-mail

I was thinking of something like this, just in my head it felt weird labelling it a "target". Will have a bit of a dig around with reverse etl, thanks 🙂

target-materialization (is dbt 😄 )

We were recently exploring a generic but powerful notification tool which could also send to slack. I wonder if that could be configured as a "target"... Let me see if I can find that tool again.
Would be fascinating and potentially very useful to have something like
target-apprise
Especially since they have a huge list of integration points: IFTTT, Teams, Slack, O365, PushBullet, Streamlabs and a ton of others.

@aaronsteers apprise looks pretty nifty!
