Post Data (Email Alert)

{
  "channels": ["EMAIL"],
  "message": "PaySentinel Alert: Stripe connection lost on your store!",
  "license_key": "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"
}

Post Data (Multi-channel)

{
  "channels": ["SLACK", "EMAIL"],

  "license_key": "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"

Delivery Logic

Channels: Supported channels are Email, Slack, Discord, and Teams.
Channel Selection: If a channels array is provided and non-empty, sends only to those channels. If omitted or empty, sends to all enabled notification channels configured in the account.
Quotas: Every alert checks the user's plan quota. If limits are reached, the request returns appropriate error codes.
