Description

Added functionality to allow users to add one or multiple Slack member IDs in their notification settings to be @-mentioned in Slack notifications. This can be disabled globally, similar to the Discord @-mentions functionality, under Settings > Notifications > Slack.

If enabled at the server level and set up for the user, notifications to the Slack webhook will appear with the @-username of the Slack user under the "Requested By" section of the notification body.

closes #2029

AI disclosure: AI was used to get an understanding of the codebase more quickly -- specifically how the Discord @-mention functionality was implemented, which was the basis for these changes.

How Has This Been Tested?

All new and existing tests passed. Environment (Win 11 Pro, build 10.0.26300, Node 22.19.0, pnpm 10.24.0)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Slack notifications now support configurable Slack member IDs and user mentions. The change adds persisted settings, API fields, mention resolution, administrator configuration, and per-user Slack settings pages.

Changes

Slack user mentions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Slack settings and persistence
seerr-api.yml, server/constants/slack.ts, server/entity/UserSettings.ts, server/interfaces/api/userSettingsInterfaces.ts, server/lib/settings/index.ts, server/migration/...
Added enableMentions, Slack ID fields, ID validation, default settings, and PostgreSQL and SQLite migrations.
Mention resolution and delivery
server/lib/notifications/agents/slack.ts, server/routes/user/usersettings.ts
SlackAgent resolves eligible Slack IDs, formats mentions, inserts creator mentions into request and issue embeds, and appends remaining mentions in a context block. The user settings API reads and saves Slack IDs.
Global Slack configuration
src/components/Settings/Notifications/NotificationsSlack/index.tsx, src/i18n/locale/en.json, docs/using-seerr/notifications/slack.md
Added the global mention checkbox to Slack settings, save and test requests, localization, and documentation.
Per-user Slack configuration
src/components/UserProfile/UserSettings/UserNotificationSettings/*, src/pages/profile/settings/notifications/slack.tsx, src/pages/users/[userId]/settings/notifications/slack.tsx
Added Slack member ID and notification-type management, navigation tabs, routes, permission guarding, validation, save feedback, and preservation of Slack IDs in other notification forms.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5a3c8

The change adds per-user Slack mentions, but users who mute Slack notifications will not receive those mentions, so the feature does not consistently honor its configured behavior. This should be corrected or explicitly accepted by the owner before merging.

Poem

A rabbit stores IDs with care,
Slack mentions hop through the air.
Forms and routes now guide the way,
Notifications speak each day.
Settings flow from store to cue.

UserNotificationsSlack to state that Slack mentions are unavailable when
slackEnabledTypes is 0, rather than saying Slack notifications are disabled;
preserve the existing server-owner configuration context.

@rfrank Thanks for the contribution!

I have not yet reviewed this but I noticed that the disclosure is checked but the description doesn't actually disclose anything. Per CONTRIBUTING.md#disclosure-requirements, this needs an actual statement, even "AI Disclosure: None" satisfies it, but it can't be left blank. Please add one. 😄

readdir file order can differ based on OS, causing extracted locale files to differ wherever
duplicate namespace/keys exist. this change sorts the file list with normalized path separators so
extraction output is byte-identical regardless of OS, which should prevent i18n check failures from
such collisions
