I wanted to know if there is a way to iterate over the ctx.payload.hits array to get ctx.payload.hits.0.\_source to go to ctx.payload.hits.1.\_source such that I can use 1 watcher to post inidividual slack messages for each hit.
Here is what I have -- I'm fairly new to this... so please let me know of any improvements you notice.

Hey,
this is currently not supported - you cannot loop through a result set and fire an action for each of the elements in the set. We are currently considering to add this as a feature though.
A current workaround currently could be to send the whole data over to logstash and deal with this over there.
