+## Slack Bot Mentions and Workflow Integration
+
+Hawk-eye now supports customizable Slack mentions in alert messages, allowing you to trigger internal Slack bot workflows (such as archiving the channel, etc) automatically.
+
+### How to Configure Slack Mentions
+
+In your `connection.yml`, under the `notify.slack` section, add a `mention` key. This value should be the Slack user ID of your bot in the format `<@USERID>`. Using the display name (e.g., `@DataScanBot`) will not trigger a real mention—Slack requires the user ID format.
+
+**Example:**
+```yaml
+notify:
+  slack:
+    webhook_url: https://hooks.slack.com/services/...
+    mention: "<@U12345678>"  # Replace with your bot's actual user ID
+```
+
+When Hawk-eye sends a Slack alert, the message will begin with this mention, ensuring your bot is properly notified and any associated workflows are triggered.
+
+**Tip:** To find your bot's user ID, click on the bot's profile in Slack and look for the ID in the URL (e.g., `/team/U12345678`).
+
+```
