create_destination

Changes something you own. Reaches beyond Ticker's own data.

Use this to add a Slack or Discord channel as an alert destination. Use set_view_target instead to attach a destination that exists to a View. Create an alert destination so an alert can deliver its Matches into a Slack or Discord channel, on top of email. You provide the channel's message URL, the https posting URL that Slack or Discord generates for a channel in that app's channel settings. Ticker sends a live test message to it and only saves the destination if that succeeds, so a wrong or dead URL is rejected right away with a clear reason (nothing fails silently at 3am). Creating one delivers nothing on its own. Attach it to a View with set_view_target, which also sets how often THAT View delivers to THAT destination; read back what a View already delivers to with list_view_targets; detach with remove_view_target. (To post into a Discord channel using Ticker's own bot, with no URL to copy, set that up in the Ticker web app under Settings instead.)
