Cheating by adding recipients to alerts directly in database

1

Hello,

We got a bunch of new hires in my company recently, and to make things fast I added them to all the relevant Metabase alerts by modifying directly the database table `pulse_channel_recipient` with their Metabase account IDs.

It worked very well the first time I did it, about 10 months ago.

But this time it did not. While the values inserted in the table are here, their names does not show up in the alerts UI and they don’t receive any emails.

I tried restarting the Metabase service, to no avail.

Is there anything I can do to salvage the situation or do I really need to add them by hand to our 100+ alerts?

you should add these via API, not directly modifying the database

OK but I’ve already modified the database. What’s missing so it’s accounted for?
