A channel is somewhere Yoinka sends you notifications. You can add as many as you want, and pick which ones fire per-monitor.

​
Supported channel types

Email

Any inbox. Good for durable archives and mobile.

Slack

Incoming webhook. Ideal for a #jobs personal or team channel.

Discord

Webhook URL from a server/channel you control.

​
Email

  1. Channels → New → Email.
  2. Enter the address.
  3. Click Test — you should get a message within ~30s. Check spam the first time.
  4. Save.
From-address is notifications@yoinka.com. If you don’t receive the test, see troubleshooting.

​
Slack

  1. In Slack, Apps → Incoming Webhooks → Add to Slack → pick a channel. Slack gives you a URL starting with https://hooks.slack.com/services/.
  2. In Yoinka: Channels → New → Slack. Paste the URL.
  3. Test — a test message lands in the Slack channel. Save.
Yoinka only sends — it doesn’t read anything from your Slack.

​
Discord

  1. In Discord, Server Settings → Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook → Copy URL. URL starts with https://discord.com/api/webhooks/.
  2. In Yoinka: Channels → New → Discord. Paste.
  3. Test → Save.

​
Assigning channels to monitors

By default, every monitor fires through every channel. Edit a monitor to pick a subset — e.g. urgent roles → email + Slack, exploratory monitors → Discord only.
