adding more parameters to the URL, like (say)
`?channel=tor-foo`. Important note: do not try to put the `#` in
the channel name, or if you do, URL-encode it (e.g. like `%23tor-foo`),

Other parameters are documented the [KGB documentation](https://salsa.debian.org/kgb-team/kgb/-/wikis/usage). In
particular, you might want to use `private=yes;channel=tor-foo` if you
do not want to have the bot send notifications in `#tor-bots`, which
is also does by default.
> **NOTE**: If you tell the bot to send a notification to the channel `#tor-foo`, but the bot can't access `tor-foo` (because it lacks permission, doesn't have the channel password, etc.) then the bot will default to `#tor-bots`. Be careful to not accidentally leak sensitive information to a public channel!
