shoutrrr/slack: missing channel property

[evenh]

After looking at the release notes for 1.7.0, I found a breaking change (for our use case). If opting in to the use of shoutrrr, the ability to override the Slack channel has gone away (unsupported in shoutrrr). I know that currently both modes of notifications (static Slack implementation + shoutrrr) exists, but the writing on the walls indicates that the former will be dropped in a future release.

I have opened a PR to fix this upstream in shoutrrr: containrrr/shoutrrr#173

I haven't tested the channel properties on any of the services, to be honest. Not many did in fact use that level of details (that I know, at least).

Did you see the change in containrrr/shoutrrr#179 ?
Were you using channel properties for other things than icons?

I am afraid holding onto future removed features is not a good way forward... Shoutrrr seems to be ahead of the game, and it makes sense for us to use it, don't you think? What would be the alternative, if things aren't okay with shoutrrr (need more channel properties)?

The number one feature for me was to override channel name, since it meant only interacting with one Slack webhook token.
