@spinscale, thanks Alex. Right after firing an email and/or Slack notification, can the "actions" section of a watch be made to acknowledge the action to silence it until after the watch passes? Could you show me what that would look like?

ps. I'm currently completely stuck at the moment where I can't get back to editing my watches:

> [@Unable to get back into Watcher section of Kibana](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/unable-to-get-back-into-watcher-section-of-kibana/139974):

> I saved a change to an advanced watch (trying to add a Slack action) and now have a Watcher: Error 400 Bad Request: json argument must contain an actionJson.slack.message.to property error every time I click on Watcher in the Kibana Management page to get back to edit the watch So I'm kind of stuck ... how can I fix this? Is there any way to edit or just delete watches from outside of Kibana?

Is there a way I can edit or remove the problem watch so I can continue working?
