Slugs are currently supported for URL pings but not for E-Mail-pings.

https://blog.healthchecks.io/2021/09/new-feature-slug-urls/

Having a uniform and predictable format for pings simplifies setup and automation. RFC 5233 (Subaddress Extension, https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5233) could be used to tag emails with the slug (ex. <ping-key>+<slug>@healthchecks.io).

Additionally (for self-hosted instances or with a discriminator to preserve identifier uniqueness) ping keys could be set individually to obtain fully human-readable ping identifiers (ex. project+subproject@example.com). An example of a service that provides this is CheckCentral (https://www.checkcentral.cc/HelpGuide/CheckCreationGuide/#Step3Matching)
