Channel Naming Conventions

Some examples of channel naming conventions our customers use:

• incident-{{ number }} will, for example, become incident-42. This is the default
• -inc-{{ date }} will become -inc-2019-10-22
• {{ incident.severity }}-incident-{{ name }}-{{ date }} will become sev1-incident-bobbys-big-spill-2019-10-22
• -inc-{{ date | replace: '-', '' }} will become -inc-20191022
