I am trying to configure multiple watchers that, each one, will send a notification to a specific slack channels. I tried to configure adding to the keystore "xpack.notification.slack.account.team1.monitoring.secure\_url" and "xpack.notification.slack.account.team2.monitoring.secure\_url" but when i try to simulate a watcher i get an exception: "no account name for team1". Can someone give me a help on this? Or a hint on how to configure multiple channels in the slack notification. Thank you in advance. ---

have you configured that setting on all nodes and either restarted them or [reloaded the secure settings](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.5/secure-settings.html#reloadable-secure-settings)? ---

I Just added both webhooks to the keystore in the security section of deployments menu in elastic cloud. I first tested with one slack channel and added "xpack.notification.slack.account.monitoring.secure\_url" and it worked fine for one channel, but when i tried to add this other configuration mentioned above, i get this exception. ps: i don't know if this could affect, but i'm not using "team1" in the configuration of the secure\_url, i replace this with the name of the channel, i.e, "xpack.notification.slack.account.nameofchannel.monitoring.secure\_url". I tried to reload the secure setting in the API console, but i had no success. ---
