Where to Find It

You can find the token inside the channel settings:

• Web: Go to Channels, edit the channel, and look for the Token on the right side
• App: Go to Channels, open a channel and click on the key icon in the top-right area

One Token per Channel

Every channel has its own token. That means a channel called Production Alerts has a different token than a channel called Deployments or Backups.

This makes it possible to route notifications cleanly by use case, environment, or team.

What the Channel Token Is Used For

When sending a notification through the API, the channel token is passed as the channel parameter. Signalgrid then uses that token to decide where the notification should go.

Security Advice

• Do not share channel tokens with anyone outside your organisation
• Do not publish them in repositories, screenshots, or public examples
• If a token has been exposed, update the affected integration and rotate access if needed

Because channel tokens control where notifications are delivered, they should be handled like internal credentials rather than casual IDs.
