📝 Alert Notes

📝 Alert Notes

With Alert Notes, responders can document key updates directly within an alert, creating a clear and detailed timeline of actions—before, during, or even after resolution.
‍

‍Why Alert Notes are a Game-Changer:
  • Track Progress
    • Add notes and attachments to capture your debugging steps and findings. Every note appears in the alert timeline, providing a complete history of your response.
  • Simplify Handoffs
    • Share debugging context when reassigning alerts to another team or escalation policy. This ensures smooth transitions and faster resolutions.
  • Stay Flexible
    • Use notes at any stage of the alert lifecycle—whether the alert is open, triggered, acknowledged, or resolved—keeping all key details in one place.
How It Works:
  1. Open any alert in Rootly.
  2. Add a note or attachment to document your findings or updates.
  3. View the alert timeline for a complete record of actions and notes.

Resolve incidents faster with Alert Notes—capture key details, streamline communication, and keep your team focused on solutions.
