Introducing: Smile to acknowledge

Here at incident.io, we're always pushing the boundaries of incident management and seeking new ways to enhance your on-call experience.

That's why we're excited to announce our latest feature that's set to level up the way you respond to incidents: Photo acknowledgement for On-call alerts.

Elevating the On-call experience

Gone are the days of mundane, button-based alert acknowledgments. Starting today, the future of incident management is vivid, personal, and requires just one thing – a selfie.

To acknowledge an on-call alert, all you need to do is take a picture of yourself.

We believe that a picture is worth a thousand words, and in the world of on-call, it's worth even more: it's your ticket to efficiency, engagement, and a touch of fun in the face of adversity.

Why it's game-changing

• Personal touch: By integrating photo acknowledgments, we're adding a human element to the on-call process. Seeing the face behind the alert strengthens team connections and adds a personal touch to remote incident management.
• Boosted engagement: Let's face it, nothing wakes you up quite like taking a selfie. This feature ensures that you're not just mentally present, but visually ready to tackle whatever comes your way.
• Unparalleled accountability: With photo acknowledgments, there's no disputing who's on the case. It adds a layer of accountability and transparency to incident response that text simply can't match.

How it works

1. Receive an alert: Just like before, you'll be notified of an incident either within our mobile app or directly within Slack.
2. Snap a selfie: Open the incident.io app and use the built-in camera to take a picture of yourself acknowledging the alert.
3. Dive into action: With your photo acknowledgment sent, you're all set to resolve the incident with your team.

Embracing innovation

Stay tuned for more updates and features, designed to empower your on-call teams like never before. In the meantime, keep smiling!
