Summary

Addresses recurring assistant questions about adding an email address to a monitor's alerts and special characters being escaped in API check variables.

Changes

  • Email Notifications: add step-by-step channel creation and a note on the required Manage alert settings permission.
  • URL monitor configuration: explain that the Alert Channels section only lists existing channels and link to email channel setup.
  • API check configuration and Environment variables: explain when to use triple brackets for values with & to avoid &.

Context

Based on unanswered assistant threads from the past week. Coralogix inbound-metrics question reflects a feature request, not a docs gap, so it was left out.

Button labels match the app (+ Add more channels / New alert channel, Create email), the permission note names the roles instead of a permission that doesn't exist, and double-bracket variables are described as HTML-escaped, not URI encoded.
