Managing channels

How to create, edit, deactivate, and delete Slack channels in Yeethook.

The Channels page lists every Slack channel connected to your Yeethook account. Each card shows the channel name, health status, delivery stats, connected app count, and last delivery time.

Creating a channel

Click Add channel to open the creation dialog. You need three things:

  1. Name — a label to identify the channel (e.g. "#app-events" or "#crashes").
  2. Slack webhook URL — the incoming webhook URL you created in Slack. See How do I create a Slack webhook? for a step-by-step guide.
  3. App connections (optional) — select which apps should send events to this channel. You can also connect apps later.

Click Create and Yeethook verifies the webhook URL is reachable.

Editing a channel

Open the actions menu on any channel card and click Edit. You can change the channel name and optionally update the webhook URL.

The current webhook URL is never displayed (it's encrypted at rest). If you need to change it, paste the new URL. Leave the field empty to keep the existing one.

Channel health

Each channel shows a health indicator:

  • Healthy — the channel is active and has no consecutive delivery failures.
  • Degraded — the channel has consecutive delivery failures. Check the Slack webhook URL and make sure the Slack app is still installed.
  • Deactivated — Yeethook auto-deactivated the channel after repeated failures (e.g. the webhook URL was revoked, the Slack channel was deleted, or the Slack app was uninstalled). Events are no longer delivered to this channel.

The card also shows the number of consecutive failures and the total events delivered.

Reactivating a channel

If a channel was deactivated, open the actions menu and click Reactivate. You need to provide a new Slack webhook URL (the old one is assumed to be invalid). After reactivating, Yeethook resumes delivering events to the channel.

Sending a test event

Open the actions menu and click Send test event. Yeethook sends a test message to the Slack channel. This is useful for verifying the webhook URL works before connecting apps.

Deleting a channel

Open the actions menu and click Delete. A confirmation dialog asks you to type DELETE to confirm. If apps are connected to the channel, the dialog lists them and warns that they will be disconnected.

Deleting a channel does not delete past events. Events that were delivered to this channel remain in the event log.

Plan limits

Each plan has a maximum number of Slack channels. If you've reached your limit, the Add channel button is disabled and shows your current count, limit, and plan name. Upgrade from the Billing page to add more.
