forceAllUpdatesAllows the incident to be shared even if it's resolved before the AutoShare. This is useful when incidents resolve within a few seconds, but the user still wants an AutoShare.BooleanNot default for any integration
forceFilterFlappingOrMutedSuppresses flapping updates, even for integrations typically configured to send them, such as webhooks.

If this toggle is on, BigPanda will wait to send updates until the system confirms the alert is no longer flapping. The default delay for this is 1 hour, but it may be different depending on your organization's flapping configuration.
BooleanNot default for any integration
forceOneTimeOnly sends the initial share to the target. Further updates are suppressed.BooleanNot default for any integration
