Rootly’s Google Docs integration automates the creation of incident documentation. When an incident resolves or a retrospective begins, Rootly generates a Google Doc from your template and populates it with incident data, timeline events, affected services, and follow-up items — eliminating manual copy-paste work and ensuring consistent documentation across every incident. You create a template document once with Liquid variables as placeholders. Rootly copies that template for each incident and replaces the variables with actual data. The generated document is saved to your specified Google Drive folder and can be automatically shared with the right people.
