Any notification in ION can be output to Slack, allowing teams to bring users back to ION at key moments. If a user is subscribed to a certain ION object and that object changes state, a user is mentioned in a comment, or assigned a task, ION will notify that user directly in Slack. For example, if as user is mentioned are mentioned (@Alice) in a comment in ION that will send a direct message to Alice in Slack with a link back to ION where the location that the mention came from.
