…anternsecurity#1285) Users were setting webhook_url in bbot.yml for Discord/Slack/Teams and getting no output with no error, because -om was never passed. - Adds a warning admonition at the top of Output Modules with a clear example - Rewrites the Discord/Slack/Teams section to lead with -om command-line examples for all three services - Adds output_modules: to all preset YAML snippets so every example is self-contained and correct

Hi, while you are correct that setting it with -om makes everything work, you can actually set it in the preset. You'd just use: output_modules: [discord] (for example) in the preset There are some things that to change about this behavior, though, which will be addressed before 3.0 is released. For example, currently, if you set output_modules: [webhook] - you'd still get the default with it ['csv', 'discord', 'json', 'python', 'txt'] This is confusing and needs to change. |

Fixes #1285
Problem
Users configuring Discord/Slack/Teams output modules by setting webhook_url in bbot.yml would get no output and no error — because -om was never passed. The docs showed config-only examples without making the -om requirement clear.
Changes
warningadmonition directly under the Output Modules heading with a example and the preset pattern as the permanent solutionoutput_modules:to all preset YAML snippets in the section so every copy-paste example works correctly on its own
