Feature Request: Dynamically Set Slack Channel
This issue is derived from: https://github.com/influxdata/kapacitor/issues/1404
Slack alert node currently supports setting channel in a given TICK script. However, it is currently not able to dynamically set the channel based on a tag or different field in an input measurement. It would definitely be a useful enhancement to have more flexibility for this channel to accept template inputs.
Is this fixed?
The example in the docs does exactly that, but it looks like it doesn't work

Since this issue is from 2018, I think we should wait to see what InfluxDB 2.* would bring in regards to alerting. So far latest influxdb 2.* builds support only few alerting endpoints (e.g. Slack), but not Telegram which is deal breaker to me.
Yeah, same problems with telegram's .chatId() method. The problem is that it's not possible to set dynamically the parameter because of incapacity of tick script. Its syntax or the ways it's being interpreted should be changed to make it possible to use normal programming techniques like passing a variable value instead of hardcoded string.
