* move conversion of data to json in slack API handling
at one point in do_notify_slack, we do operations on the payload
variable assuming it's a dict, but it's not: it's a json encoded string.
it's useful to operate on the payload as a dict rather than a string, so
solve this problem by moving the jsonify call to right before sending
the payload to the slack API.
