PagerDuty
PagerDuty is one of many integrations supported by Rootly. With PagerDuty, you can speed up response time by automating the paging, inviting, and assigning of on-calls during incidents.
Here are some of the key features supported by the Rootly PagerDuty integration:
- Import and link services from PagerDuty into Rootly. This will allow teams to automate paging based on the impacted services.
- View on-call personnel directly from Slack.
- Automate paging to PagerDuty, by service, escalation policy, and user.
- Expedite response team assembly by auto inviting on on-call personnels and auto assigning incident roles.
- Maintain real-time incident status via two-way sync between Rootly and PagerDuty.
- Automate incident declaration on Rootly by ingesting incoming PagerDuty alerts

Q: PagerDuty has some incident management capabilities, how is this different?
A: When it comes to incident management capabilities, there is some overlap between Rootly and PagerDuty. However, Rootly provides a more complete and centralized incident management platform designed to work with the alerting capabilities of PagerDuty, or other similar alerting services such as OpsGenie or VictorOps.
Q: Should I keep paying for PagerDuty or does Rootly replace it?
A: PagerDuty provides excellent on call scheduling management, and can act as an enhancement to the incident management capabilities in Rootly. They work best together, but it isn't strictly necessary to use PagerDuty if you would prefer a different on-call management solution.
Q: I don't use PagerDuty, is that okay?
A: You don't need to use PagerDuty if you don't want to. We do recommend using some kind of on-call management solution such as VictorOps or OpsGenie, if PagerDuty doesn't meet your requirements for those functions.
Q: I'm getting a Failed to authenticate. Reason: Invalid Credentials message when I try to authenticate my PagerDuty account. What is happening?
A: Chances are you are trying to authenticate with a Trial PagerDuty account that has expired. Check your PD account to make sure it is still active. If that's not the case, contact us at [email protected] or start a chat by navigating to Help > Chat with Us.
