Pull Request Overview
This PR updates the Slack integration to use channel IDs instead of channel names when posting messages. According to the Slack API documentation, the chat.postMessage method accepts either channel IDs or names, so this change maintains compatibility while moving to a more explicit identifier.
Key Changes:
- Renamed configuration parameter from
SlackChanneltoSlackChannelId - Updated all function parameters from
channelNametochannelIdthroughout the codebase - Updated documentation to reflect the use of channel IDs

Made a new configuration var in AWS Dev.
Turns out we can just pass channelId or name into the call this is already using. https://docs.slack.dev/reference/methods/chat.postMessage/
Will need an admin to add this in prod before merging!
