Beautiful Incident Timeline Pages

Beautiful Incident Timeline Pages

πŸ“£ Beautiful Incident Timeline Pages

We are excited to release beautiful incident timeline pages that can be easily shared across the organization.

Why? Following along incidents can be noisy especially given the amount of collaboration required to debug the issue. Teams such as customer support are left wondering what is applicable to them and often causes confusion leading to more questions.

Incident timeline pages solve that by providing a high level overview of everything that is important that teams can easily follow along.

  • Updates to the incident timeline page are pinned automatically with πŸ“Œ emoji in Slack
  • Updates to timeline in the Web Platform automatically updates the incident timeline page
  • Link can be easily shared across the organization to Rootly users
  • Executive overview of all relevant information without scrolling around in Slack
  • Accessible links in both the incident channel overview in Slack and incident view on the Web Platform
