Rootly | Incident Variables and Snippets

✂️ Incident Variables and Snippets

Incident variables such as {{ incident.severity }} are a way to quickly contextualize your communication without manual input.

We are excited to launch 100+ incident variables that span across Rootly and it's integrations (e.g. Jira, Google Doc, etc.).

They can be used in Workflows, incident title, postmortem templates, emails, and nearly everywhere in Rootly.

The use cases are endless, for example:

Summarize incident for leadership email {{ incident.summary }}
Rename Slack channel to align with Jira ticket number {{ incident.jira_issue_id }}
Indicate if incident Type is customer facing in postmortem title {{ incident.type }}
Send security team Slack message with incident channel link {{ incident.slack_channel_url }}

Incident variables and snippets are easily accessible via drop-down where available, no copy-paste required.

They are also dynamic in nature so you can set it and forget it.
