Workflows 2.0

🔮 Workflows 2.0 - Next Gen Incident Automation

We are excited to introduce the next generation of our Workflows feature to help automate the entire incident process in a consistent way!

What has changed since Workflows 1.0? Well, now all integrations are supported by our simple but powerful automation engine!

• Zoom / Google Meet
• Confluence / Google Docs
• PagerDuty / Opsgenie
• Jira / Zendesk / Linear / Asana / Trello / Shortcut / ServiceNow / Airtable

Use cases with Workflows 2.0 that you couldn't before? A few examples:

1. 🔮 Create Jira tickets on multiple project board depending on which team is impacted
2. 🔮 Open a Zoom or Google Meet bridge for high severity (>SEV1) incidents for high bandwidth conversations
3. 🔮 Automatically page the Infrastructure team via PagerDuty or Opsgenie whenever the postgres-db is impacted
4. 🔮 Use different Confluence or Google Doc postmortem templates if the incident was security related
5. 🔮 ...thousands of other combinations to fit your exact incident process!

We make getting started simple too. When you first configure an integration we'll automatically create the Workflow template for you in 1-click. You can go in and modify anything you want later.

We are excited to see what you come up with and build!
