This must be an integer for PagerDuty and Sentry apps, and a string for all others. Examples of appropriate values include a Slack channel name (`#my-channel`), a user ID, a team ID, a Sentry app ID, etc.\n- `inputChannelId`: The ID of the Slack channel. This is only used for the Slack action, and can be used as an alternative to providing the `targetIdentifier`.\n- `integrationId`: The integration ID. This is required for every action type excluding `email` and `sentry_app.`\n- `sentryAppId`: The ID of the Sentry app. This is required when `type` is `sentry_app`.\n- `priority`: The severity of the Pagerduty alert or the priority of the Opsgenie alert (optional).
