{% dl %}

{% dt %}
`@all`
{% /dt %}

{% dd %}
Sends a notification to all members of your organization.
{% /dd %}

{% dt %}
`@test@example.com`
{% /dt %}

{% dd %}
Sends an email to `test@example.com`.
{% /dd %}

{% dt %}
`@slack-<SLACK_ACCOUNT>-<CHANNEL_NAME>`
{% /dt %}

{% dd %}
Posts the event or graph to the specified Slack channel.
{% /dd %}

{% dt %}
`@webhook`
{% /dt %}

{% dd %}
Alerts or triggers the webhook. See the [blog post on webhooks](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/send-alerts-sms-customizable-webhooks-twilio).
{% /dd %}

{% /dl %}
