**Versions** (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser):  
2.7.0

**Describe the issue** :  
Is it possible to configure a channel in OpenSearch for use with Slack Incoming Webhooks (legacy, not API) that can point to a specific channel? Currently, the vanilla slack webhooks work but can only point to the default channel, even though I know it is possible to point to a channel with the channel or channel\_id parameters with other services.  
Making a Custom Webhook with these parameters only results in an Invalid\_Payload error.
