Slack alert - tag an user

Hello,

I have a dashboard slack alert being sent to a big channel, and now I am trying to tag/mention a specific @theusername within that alert.

Since text tiles are rendered nicely, I tried several combinations like

@theusername

or "<@userId>"

But i don't manage to make Slack interpret these metabase strings as a tag, only as a classic html link (so the user does not get notified)

Is thar even possible?

It would be very useful to allocate alerts to respective owners.

Thank you!

Hey there!

Have you considered implementing a Slack webhook?

This could automatically add a comment that mentions the @user when a specific keyword appears in the message text.

This approach might help solve your tagging issue without modifying the Metabase alert itself.
