First, your code is not JSON. Slack needs JSON data input. Second, channel name must be the name without visibility icon (# etc.) Third, using emoji needs to set up permissions - more info in here.

This works (without emoji - I did not set emoji permission):

{
    "username": "Report notifier",
    "channel": "general",
    "text": "New Report <!everyone> <!here>",
    "icon_emoji": ":smiley_cat:",
    "attachments": [
        {
            "color": "#FF0000",
            "fields": [
                {
                    "title": "price",
                    "value": "4",
                    "short": true,
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}
