## Send test notification

To test your notification settings, press Save and Test.

If only Slack channels and webhook are specified correctly, you will receive the notification in the Slack channels.
If only the emails are specified, you will receive notifications to those emails.
When both notifications are specified, all notifications will be sent to Slack channels and emails.

If the Save button is pressed, then entered channels will be only saved, and you get a success message.

If the Save and Test button is pressed, then all entered information will be saved, 
and test notifications will be sent to the entered channels
