Deactivate a Feed Channel

Sales Cloud for Slack comes with two preconfigured feed channels, Deals-to-Watch and Deals-Won, which you can activate to keep you up to date on important progress and deal closings. To deactivate these channels, you have two options: deactivate the flow sending notifications to these channels or archive the channel completely.
