}Notes
- To authenticate, you’ll need a Tako API key. It’s best practice to store it as an environment variable to avoid hardcoding sensitive credentials in your code.
- Create the channel before the monitor that uses it — Create a monitor answers
404for achannel_idsentry that names no channel of yours. urlmust behttps. Tako rejectshttp, and rejects a URL that embeds credentials.- A channel starts
active. Tako pauses it after two consecutive failed deliveries; see Pause or resume a notification channel.
The
201 returns secret, and no later request ever returns it again. Store it when you read this response. Every delivery to this channel carries a signature computed with it, so losing it means deleting the channel and creating a new one.Choosing a kind
kind decides how Tako shapes the request body it posts:
webhook(the default) — nested JSON that namespaces the monitor, the firing, and the payload.slack_workflow— a flat body of strings, for a Slack Workflow Builder trigger, which rejects any nested value.

Available options:
delivery_failures The signing secret for this channel. Store it now: this response is the only place it appears, and no later request returns it. Every delivery to this channel carries a signature computed with it.
