Implementing green message marking update for closed alerts in Robusta

[YuriiBudnyi]

Hello Team, Thank you very much for your work. Currently, we are using OpsGenie but are considering migration to Robusta in our project. OpsGenie has a nice feature regarding closed alerts. When it receives a message about an alert closed it updates messages regarding open alerts with a green vertical line instead of red.

We propose the implementation of a similar feature in Robusta. Currently, when an alert is fired in Robusta, it generates a message notifying the relevant stakeholders. However, once the alert is resolved or closed, there's no distinct indication within the message thread to signify its closure.

Feature Overview:

The suggested feature entails marking the message related to the alert with a green indicator once it transitions from an open state to a closed one. This will provide immediate visual feedback to users, indicating that the issue has been resolved without the need to delve into the message content.

Benefits:

Enhanced Visibility: Green marking will quickly signal to users that the alert has been addressed. Reduced Cognitive Load: Users won't need to sift through message threads to ascertain the status of alerts. Improved Efficiency: Streamlined communication regarding resolved alerts can accelerate incident response and resolution times.

Hi @YuriiBudnyi, Are you referring to the Robusta Slack integration? We're about to work on some related features for updating Slack messages depending on status. So very good timing.

Any news on this? It will be super useful to set the Slack msg in green and also include the resolve notification in the same thread. Thanks a lot!
