Ensure the created channel is enabled by default. Users are allowed to enable or disable channels as per user's needs. Additionally, users can edit or delete any created channels.

The steps explained above are for creating channels to send notifications without applying any filters. Alternatively, you can configure rules to notify users only when specific filters, such as App Name (optional), Host Name (optional), or Tags (optional) that are configured, match the incidents. To create a channel with filter criteria please refer to this documentation.
