I’m working on tight integration between Slack and Discourse. For now I want to extend slack notification plugin with functionality of sending special notification after mention. Can someone suggest me the right way of getting this info in a plugin? For now, I see that I can search for it in the content of the post, but maybe this is not the optimal way?

Best,

Could you break down what you’re trying to do into steps? I’m not quite getting _what’s_ supposed to be sent _where_.

Maybe @bernd or @night have grappled with this already.

Something like?

```plaintext
class ::Notification
   after_save :notify_slack

   def notify_slack
      # do your magic
   end
end 

```
