Convert Existing Channels to Rootly Incidents

Convert Existing Channels to Rootly Incidents

🧞 Convert Existing Channels to Rootly Incidents

Rootly provides the most comprehensive suite of onboarding tools to help companies rapidly adopt better incident management.

As with the introduction of any tool, you won't always remember to use Rootly for new incidents due to muscle memory.

For the times you forget, we are introducing /incident convert that allows you to turn existing incident channels into Rootly incidents.

  • Continue collaborating on incidents without losing context or stopping your conversation
  • Incident history preserved and no need to manually backfill into Rootly
  • Link to existing incidents if an on-going incident had already been created
  • Prompts to fill in incident details as if you were just creating a new incident (e.g. Severity)
  • Supports private incident channels
