One of:

public (default) or internal. Only public updates reach status pages and their subscribers; the app’s own composer sends internal unless asked to publish.

notify_subscribers

Email status page subscribers about a public update. Default true on the status page route (that page only), false on /incident/{id}/update (true there emails every page).
