Hi, I've added the following:

log.Printf("New alarm: %s - Reason: %s", snsMessage.AlarmName, snsMessage.NewStateReason)
slackMessage := buildSlackMessage(snsMessage)
if strings.Contains(snsMessage.NewStateReason, "-> OK") {
	slackMessage = buildSlackMessageGreen(snsMessage)
}

in order to have a different color when going from anything to "-> OK", I think it would be better to set the color as a parameter, but don't know Go and this was the fastest approach.

Hope you can get the idea and implement it, I'm using your lambda a lot, thank you!!!
