Description
A Slack sink would allow users to notify select Slack channels when events arrive. This definitely needs more discussion to cover details like:
- Rate limiting.
- Message formatting.
- Integration strategy (webhooks, Slack app, etc).
In addition, this requires a larger discussion of Vector's scope and if this fits in.

Research direction
