Include a notification function that integrates with Slack

[jenniferp96]

Thanks for making this package! It's very helpful and I got a few validation processes running smoothly in production (no issues with that at all).

I like the email notifier that's included and something along the same lines is a Slack notifier, which would be a great addition! Would that be a feature you're willing to add in?

I can do it! Thanks for the feature request!

Thank you for making this feature a possibility. I would use this a lot.

Hi @rich-iannone,

Just an FYI - it looks like the slackr package is shaping up quite nicely. Perhaps it will be helpful in your work on this issue?

Thanks again for pointblank!

@kylelundstedt absolutely, and I was waiting on this issue to see how far slackr would be progressing in its rewrites. I think a new version hit CRAN recently so I’ll test it out after the next release of pointblank. If it works well, I’ll create an adapter function that uses slacker for notifications.
