Migration Process

Step 1: Initial Consultation

During your onboarding experience, you’ll be asked about PagerDuty migration. Your onboarding representative will gather:
  • Migration scope: Which attributes you want to migrate from PagerDuty to Rootly
  • Timeline: When you’d like the migration performed

Step 2: API Access Setup

To enable the migration, you’ll need to provide a PagerDuty API key:
  1. Navigate to Integrations > Developer Tools > API Access Keys in PagerDuty
  2. Click “API Access Keys”
  3. Name your API key and click “Create Key”
  4. ✅ Check the box for “Read-only API Key”
  5. Copy the generated API key
Use a read-only API key for security - migration only requires read access to your PagerDuty data.

Step 3: Migration Execution

Once our team receives:
  • ✅ Your API key
  • ✅ Selected migration attributes
  • ✅ Preferred migration date
We’ll schedule your migration and provide confirmation once completed.
