Slack App

You will be able to select from the various Slack Workspaces that you have added our Slack App too.

The notification will be sent to the default channel that the Slack App was installed into, but if other channels are entered inside the channel field, the notification will be sent to those channels instead (they must be in the same Slack Workspace).

Likewise, the notification will attempt to tag any user that has their name entered inside the users field.
