Disable Slack notifications programmatically

We use docker to deploy Metabase for both dev and prod environments. Our prod env is backed by Postgres. Sometimes we take a snapshot of the prod database and run dev against that snapshot. This works great, except our Pulses still send Slack notifications. Is there a way to disable these notifications? I tried using the environment variable to override the Slack key, but it seemed to have no effect.

Thanks!

Hi @alana
So you’re saying that you are defining MB_SLACK_TOKEN to an invalid token, but Metabase still uses the token stored in the application database?
Please post “Diagnostic Info” from Admin > Troubleshooting.
Alternatively is to delete slack-token from the table setting in the application database, or simply just block outgoing connections to *.slack.com

Yes that is correct.

Thank you for the suggestions, I will use one of these alternatives. :smiley:
