Register now: Why you’re (probably) doing service catalogs wrong
Picture the scene: a high‑severity alert fires, Slack lights up, and dashboards scream red. You’re juggling Datadog, PagerDuty, Jira, and status pages while trying to coordinate fixes. The problem isn’t a lack of tools; it’s that they aren’t talking to each other. This guide explains why incident management tool integration matters, how it cuts response times, and where to start.
Lifecycle stage | Typical tooling | Integration win |
---|---|---|
Alerting and detection | Datadog, CloudWatch, Sentry | Auto-declare incidents when critical monitors fire; include graphs in chat for instant context |
Paging and escalation | Incident.io on-call, PagerDuty, Opsgenie | Trigger pages or overrides from the incident channel; reflect ack / resolve status in the timeline |
Communication | Slack, Microsoft Teams | Spin up a dedicated channel with pre-filled context; route status updates to exec-only channels |
Tracking and following up | Jira, Linear, Asana | Create follow-up tickets from chat; sync status both ways so nothing falls through |
Customer visibility | Incident.io status pages, Atlassian Statuspage | Push incident state and latest updates automatically, without copying text |
At Intercom, engineers linked PagerDuty, Slack, and Jira into a single workflow. When PagerDuty fires, a Slack incident channel appears with the alert payload and a pre‑assigned lead. As responders chat, slash commands log follow‑up actions that land in Jira. According to Intercom’s SRE team, this cut their median time to assemble a response crew by roughly 40 percent and made retros far cleaner.
Incident management tool integration turns a pile of siloed software into a cohesive workflow. Start with your biggest friction points, plug systems together with the lightest‑weight connectors you can, and iterate. Your future self, awake at 2 a.m., will thank you.
We created a dedicated page for Anthropic to showcase our incident management platform, complete with a custom game called PagerTron, which we built using Claude Code. This project showcases how AI tools like Claude are revolutionizing marketing by enabling teams to focus on creative ways to reach potential customers.
We examine both companies' comparison pages and find some significant discrepancies between PagerDuty's claims and reality. Learn how our different origins shape our approaches to incident management.
The EU AI Act introduces new incident reporting rules for high-risk AI systems. This post breaks down what Article 73 actually mandates, why it's not as scary as it sounds, and how good incident management makes compliance a breeze.
