Alerts use case: raw output type

The Slack destination type requires you to select between Structured and Raw output type.

For maximum customization, go to Integrations, then Notification Center, then Presets, then New alert preset, then open the Advanced tab in Message to view or edit the underlying template schema and variables. In this mode, the message schema is configured directly using a JSON payload. The templates within the payload are rendered, and the resulting message is sent as-is to the Slack API.
