Streamline Collaboration and Communication

During an incident, keeping distributed engineering teams synchronized and focused is a monumental challenge. Disorganized communication leads to duplicated effort, missed steps, and slower resolution times. Rootly solves this by integrating directly into the collaboration tools your teams already live in, creating a dedicated and uncluttered space for incident response.

Microsoft Teams and Slack: Your Incident Command Center

Rootly transforms your everyday communication platforms into powerful, purpose-built incident command centers.

• Microsoft Teams: The native Microsoft Teams integration allows users to manage the entire incident lifecycle without ever leaving the application. You can declare incidents, assign roles, run checklists, and communicate updates, which is absolutely crucial for keeping globally distributed teams aligned and moving as one.
• Slack: Rootly masterfully leverages Slack for real-time, in-the-moment incident response. With simple slash commands, you can instantly spin up dedicated incident channels, page the right responders, and post automated status updates to stakeholders. This profound level of automation streamlines communication and dramatically reduces the fog of war during a crisis.

Automate Ticketing, Escalations, and Project Management

Manual handoffs between incident response and tracking systems are a notorious source of delays and human error. Critical follow-up actions get dropped, and tracking becomes a soul-crushing chore. Rootly obliterates these bottlenecks by automating handoffs with integrations into leading ITSM, project management, and on-call platforms.

PagerDuty and Opsgenie: Intelligent Escalations

Rootly interacts intelligently with PagerDuty and Opsgenie to automate on-call paging and escalations. For example, a SEV0 incident declared in Rootly can automatically page the primary on-call engineer via PagerDuty. If there's no response within a predefined time, Rootly can automatically escalate to the secondary on-call, ensuring rapid human intervention for your most critical issues.

Jira, ServiceNow, and Zendesk: Seamless Tracking

Maintaining a flawless system of record is effortless with Rootly's ticketing and project management integrations.

• Jira: Rootly’s integration with Jira enables the automatic creation of tickets for incidents and action items. This ensures that post-incident follow-up tasks and retrospectives are tracked efficiently in the same system your engineering teams use for all development work, bridging the gap between response and remediation.
• ServiceNow & Zendesk: You can sync Rootly with platforms like ServiceNow or Zendesk to keep your IT service management and customer support teams perfectly in the loop. This is vital for organizations that rely on these platforms as their system of record, ensuring data consistency and clear, transparent communication across departments.
