On-Call

Paging on Autopilot, Stop Wondering Who is On-Call

Paging on Autopilot, Stop Wondering Who is On-Call

๐Ÿ“Ÿ Paging on Autopilot, Stop Wondering Who is On-Call

Alerting solutions like PagerDuty and Opsgenie are an integral part of our customers workflow. We are making it even easier to page the right people whenever you are tackling an incident, without wondering who is on-call.

We are introducing a new Task inside of our Automated Genius Workflow where you can automatically page people, team, or escalation policy depending on the condition of an incident. Some example use cases are page Infrastructure whenever a postgres-db incident occurs or page IMOC for every incident.

  • Works with any alerting solution such as PagerDuty and Opsgenie
  • Removes cognitive overhead and burden of wondering who to page during an incident as its automated
  • Easy to configure with drag and drop editor in seconds
  • No more wondering or fumbling with who has access to PagerDuty or Opsgenie logins
