πŸ”” Subscribe to Incidents

We are introducing the ability to subscribe to incidents because staying in the loop is critical.

But different audiences want to be updated differently. A couple of examples.

  • Impacted Engineers - want to know every message sent because the details matter
  • Leadership - want to know when the incident is mitigated and resolved, exact details matter less

With the ability to subscribe to incidents, those that just want to follow along easily can do so.

  • Email notifications whenever the incident is Mitigated and Resolved
  • Anyone that enters the incident Slack channel automatically becomes a subscriber
  • Give your organization control to choose how they would like to be updated
  • Ability to subscribe or unsubscribe with a single click
