Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/healthchecks/healthchecks/issues/362

I work with many cron tabs across various systems and currently I'm using the description field to store which cron tab relates to the task being checked. As the description text is sent to along with slack notifications this is not always possible due to security concerns.
A text field for the cron resource which is not sent in notifications to mitigate this would be great.
Or indeed any internal description field would certainly suffice.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am not planning to work on this. I'd like to keep Healthchecks lean and simple, and this feature is a little too niche for me.
