Clarification for INCIDENT_CHANNEL_ID and INCIDENT_REPORT_CHANNEL_ID

Open ryanermita opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Based on the README.md on the Update your settings.py section. It says to define INCIDENT_CHANNEL_ID. But based on the demo settings.py there are INCIDENT_CHANNEL_ID and INCIDENT_REPORT_CHANNEL_ID. What are the difference between these two? What configuration is better and recommended?

There's an option to have incidents be "report only". These ones don't create an incident channel for co-ordinating a response from engineers as it's just for reporting. These "report only" incidents can be posted in their own channel so that they don't clog up the "live" incident channel.
This is why both channel IDs exist.
