There was a problem hiding this comment.
It looks like you're not passing along the actual message describing what failed and instead using global fails. Did you try doing it the same way that it's currently working (i.e., each step has it's own fail handler and a message describing how it's failing)?
That seems like a better approach if it works via slack.

Sends Slack alerts when errors occur in CircleCI jobs.
Description
Ensure teams are notified in real time about failures in CircleCI pipelines. This reduces response time, helps identify issues quickly, and improves pipeline reliability.
Adds Slack alert integration that posts error notifications from CircleCI pipelines directly to configured Slack channels.
How was it tested? What documentation was provided?
Verified by running failing jobs in CircleCI and confirming that Slack alerts were triggered with the correct error details in the target channel. Successful runs were also checked to ensure no false alerts.
Documentation: A minimal README with environment variable setup (CIRCLE_TOKEN, SLACK_ACCESS_TOKEN, SLACK_DEFAULT_CHANNEL) and instructions for enabling the Slack integration in
