Default vs Per-Site Channels

How LemWatch picks which channel and recipient to use for each alert.

Default vs Per-Site Channels

Every alert resolves its destination using this precedence:

A channel is "used" when:

• The toggle is enabled, AND
• The recipient (email / webhook URL / chat ID) is filled in and passes validation.

Examples

• You enable Slack globally with #alerts. Site shop.example.com has its own Slack override pointing at #shop-oncall → all alerts for that site go to #shop-oncall; every other site uses #alerts.
• You leave the per-site notification email blank → alerts go to your account email.
• You set a per-site Telegram chat ID but leave the bot token blank → LemWatch falls back to the default Telegram bot/chat.

Per-site notification email

Each site can ship alerts to a different email address (handy for clients). Set it under Edit Site → Notifications → Notification email. Leave blank to inherit.

Testing

Use the Send test button next to each channel to fire a real payload through the same delivery path used for incidents.
