Hello members, I am aware that Looker can send alert messages in a Slack Channel or to a specific Slack User. However, I am interested to merge the 2, so that I can still send it in a specific Slack channel but also tag specific people in the message (perhaps based on Tag or Slack User ID).
Is this doable and if so, how?

After some testing and experimentation, I discovered the way , basically in the alert title you add something like “<@UserSlackID>”
Interesting idea! I don’t think this is possible, as I’m pretty sure that Slack treats the alert messages as plaintext. But you could try using the Slack @-mentioning syntax with a valid username and see if it generates a ping to that user!
