Research direction
This issue requests adding notification channels beyond email, such as Slack, Rocketchat, or Mattermost. To begin, examine the existing notification system in the Monica repository, likely under app/Notifications, to understand how email notifications are sent. Check if there are any previous PRs or discussions about extending notifications. The goal is to implement a new notification channel for at least one of the mentioned services, following the pattern established by the email channel.
