Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the Slack message-sending entry points and existing configuration or test coverage, then compare the requested behavior with Action Mailer's perform_deliveries option. Done should mean a configuration setting suppresses message sending for testing and local development while preserving normal delivery when enabled.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

new feature

This would be ideal for testing and local development. Similar to perform_deliveries in Action Mailer (http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionMailer/Base.html)
