<@U088WCP3B4P> does elementary store a reference to sent alerts (eg. direct slack message url)?

Based on the knowledge sources, Elementary does track sent alerts in the `alerts_v2` table, but the information stored is limited:

*What `alerts_v2` does store:*
• A `sent_at` timestamp recording when an alert was dispatched
• A `status` field (e.g., `pending`, `skipped`, `sent`)
• Rich alert context in a `data` JSON column (test ID, table/column names, severity, owners, tags, etc.)

*What it does NOT store:*
The knowledge sources do not mention any storage of a direct Slack message URL (e.g., a `https://slack.com/archives/...` permalink) for sent alerts. There is no reference to Elementary capturing or persisting the Slack message URL after delivery.

This aligns with the general pattern described — Elementary marks alerts as `sent` and records `sent_at`, but the integration is one-directional (push to Slack) with no apparent callback to store the resulting message URL.

If storing a reference back to the Slack message is important for your use case, this would likely need to be implemented as a custom integration outside of Elementary. :thumbsup: 0 button :thumbsdown: 0 button :information_source: *Tip:* Mention *@elementary.ai* in the thread for follow-ups or *DM the app* for *1-to-1* help.
