Direct Message notifications slack

[grumpasaurus]

So far all the add-ons that I've found only support notifications sent to a pre-set channel in Slack.  

Is there any plugin where, in lieu of an email, send a direct message as a pre-set User/Bot directly to someone?  This would be useful when doing @ mentions directly at people.

I'm not sure, since your description isn't that detailed, but it sounds like you'd want to build a custom field plugin that does some calculations based on time tracking.

Perhaps you could use the Database field plugin?

I think I cant use it as I am using jira 4.4.4 and its not compatible with it.

To clarify I just want to set a milestone date for each issue or sub-task under the issue and send notification when that timeis lapsed.

Why not just use the due date field? http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Scheduling+an+Issue

Then, you can use JQL to see those issues, and subscribe to a filter with search syntax like this:

duedate >= now()

Perfect Jeremy,

Thanks for the answer. But now what I want to do is to change the color of due date on each issue if it crosses expected due date and is still not closed or unresolved.

Looks like you've posted over at https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/35077/how-to-change-the-due-date-color-if-the-due-date-is-passed-and-issue-is-unresolved-so-as-to-make-it-more-easily-noticable-by-the-defaulter. I'll have a look over there.
