Yeah, this would be really useful. Then there's no need to setup Slack notifications on each project (old UI) or setup the slack-orb in each repository's config (new UI).Actually, for Github, it should already work with the "Your PR has failed CI checks" realtime-alert in the "Scheduled reminders" personal Github-settings. I've contacted their support to find out why it doesn't work, though.

It would also be cool if it pinged the users associated with the git commits deployed in the circleci deployment.

I also think this would be really useful - I'm most interested when my build fails.

I've been using that Slack Orb, and it works really well for most things, however it isn't really configured for sending personal notifications which is a shame.

For most of the commands in that orb you could set the 'channel' to be a slack username and it does in fact send the notification to that user (I've tested this), the problem is that CircleCI cannot match a git user who committed something to a slack username.

If you only ever wanted to message the same user then you can easily hard code this and it will work, but if you were hoping to have CircleCI message the user that initiated a build then currently I don't think that is possible.

Hi Folks. Does the Slack Orb https://circleci.com/orbs/registry/orb/circleci/slack fit your needs? It offers greater flexibility than our old 1.0 notifications system.

I currently solved this by setting up a shared channel for the project notifications, and setting a keyword for my GitHub username, but it'd be nice to have personal slack notifications just like there is email

Here's a 3rd-party app that provides Slack DM notifications for only your builds – https://pullreminders.com

I'd like to see this too. It would be great if it could post in a shared channel, and @ the Slack user who triggered the build. This would probably require some set up to map github users to slack users, which I would be happy to do in order to get this feature set up for myself.
