Setting Default Notifications

You can select which notifications are checked by default when an incident is being created. This setting is found in the admin panel under http://yourdomain.status.page/admin/settings/incidents under the Default Notifications tab.

Sending Notifications During Incident Creation

When you create an incident and choose to send notifications, the type of notification, and the components included, will dictate who receives it. In this case, anyone subscribed to the components selected who chose to receive notifications via email or SMS would receive the notification. Additionally, it is posting to a Slack notification channel integration.
