[ELE-1389] Sending Alerts to Different Channels

[lord-skinner]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Sort of. Currently we are configuring a channel in our models.yml files for alters to go to, but the edr cli requires you as a token/channel and that channel overrides what is in the models.yml. If you pass a webhook, that is associated with a specific channel, again overriding the configured channel in our models.yml file.

Describe the solution you'd like
We'd like for the channel passed into edr to be the default channel, and the channel in the config, if exists, to override it. Pushing alerts with no configured channel to the default channel.

Describe alternatives you've considered
We have used the --select command to send only specifically tagged models to the channel passed into edr, but this is redundent configuration and requires multiple separate jobs/commands to be handle and again disregards the configured channel in our yaml.

Would you be willing to contribute this feature?
Possibly

Hi @lord-skinner !
Thanks for opening this issue and sorry for the super delayed response.
I believe that this behavior was changed since and we no longer override the channel by default (controlled with the --override-dbt-project-config which is False by default).

If I'm wrong / missing something please feel free to re-open the issue.
