Now you can override Slack notification channels per test run via API, with optional filtering. Different test runs deserve different audiences: CI/CD pipelines might need a deployment channel, while nightly tests go to a QA channel.

**How It Works**

-   **Channel Override:** Specify which Slack channels receive notifications when triggering runs via API—route deployment tests to #deployments, feature tests to team channels, or send to multiple channels for cross-team visibility
-   **Failure-Only Filtering:** Set notifications to only send when tests fail, reducing noise for high-frequency runs like CI/CD pipelines

Specify notification channels when triggering runs via API - see the [API reference](https://docs.qa.tech/api-reference/start-run) for details. Requires Slack integration configured and the QA.tech bot must have access to the channels you specify.
