💖 LIGHTNING-NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_OPEN_FAILED 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the channel_open_failed page — that's the manual name, and yes it's a whole mouthful, the header literally truncates it to LIGHTNING-NOTIFI...NNEL_OPEN_FAILED(7) because even the manpage formatter ran out of breath 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

channel_open_failed — the notification that the channel open request failed 😭 no cap, that's the whole gig

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea 🍓 — the channel_open_failed notification gets sent whenever the channel opening request is failed. that's it, that's the vibe check. the channel open said "nope" and this notification is the group chat announcing it 💅

🎀 NOTIFICATION PAYLOAD 🎀

the payload is giving minimal but iconic, here's what's in it:

• channel_id (hash) — the channel id of the channel 👑 literally just the id of the channel in question.
