What You Can Do
Incident Channels
Auto-create dedicated channels for each incident with consistent naming, topics, and bookmarks. Channels can be public or private based on incident sensitivity.
Real-Time Updates
Channel topics, names, and bookmarks update automatically as incident status, severity, or details change.
Notifications & Alerts
Announce new incidents to designated channels, notify user groups for high-severity events, and send reminders for stale incidents or unassigned roles.
User Management
Auto-invite on-call responders, service owners, or specific user groups to incident channels based on conditions.
Slash Commands
Declare incidents, update status, assign roles, add action items, and trigger workflows directly from Slack with
/rootly commands.Block Kit Messages
Send rich, interactive messages with buttons for common actions like updating summary, assigning roles, or escalating to PagerDuty.
