Slack : Posting notifications to channel

Watch out for

Webhook retries can cause duplicate notifications so implement idempotency checks using order IDs to prevent spamming the channel.
Slack API rate limits can block the run so add exponential backoff logic for failed requests to ensure reliability.
Currency mismatches between WooCommerce and your code can lead to incorrect threshold comparisons so always normalize amounts to cents or a consistent decimal format before comparing.
