- This action enables sending notifications to slack channels/users
- Utilizes the incoming webhook API of slack
- Similar to the `email` and `hipchat` actions, multiple slack accounts can be configured, each with its own URL and message defaults
- Slack actions are associated with an account, or if not, they'll be sent via the default account.
- The message itself is very flexible and enables defining simple messages to one or more users and/or one or more channels. For complex message structures, one can use `attachments` as described by the slack API.

An action capable of sending notifications to rooms and users on hipchat. This actions support three types of HipChat APIs:
- `v1` - The (now deprecated) legacy API where a token can be registered at the group level, and the `v1` version of the API can be used. This API only supports room notification (users cannot be notified). multi-room notification is supported.
- `integration` - The basic integration that one can create in HipChat (it is using the `v2` API version), where notifications can be sent to a single room. User notification is unsupported by this API
- `user` - this API uses an API token of a specific user. An admin user can create an API token and configure it to have access to room notification and user private messaging. This API supports multi-room and multi-user notifications.
The settings for `hipchat` are very similar to the `email` infrastructure in nature. It is possible to configure multiple/different hipchat account, each is associated with the api type (a.k.a profile) - can be `v1`, `integration` or `user`, and the respective `auth_token`. When configuring the action in the watch, one can specify what hipchat account they would like to use (when not specifying an account, the `default_account` will be used). Each account can also specify its own unique `host`/`port` for the hipchat server - for full flexibility.
