Variables are the spice of life

Now you can customise your workflows even further! We've supercharged workflow message steps with a rich text editor, allowing you to format your messages easily, add links, and - most excitingly - add special variables into your messages.

Choose from a whole host of context-dependent variables, including information about the current incident, message and/or user (depending on the trigger you’ve selected).

You can also use Slack's mrkdwn syntax to take advantage of all the formatting options that Slack provides.

If there are any variables we haven't included that you'd like to see, let us know over at the Community!

What we shipped

• 💅 You can now create a workflow triggered by an incident update being shared.
• 💅 We've given the app setup flow a bit of a makeover.
• 💅 When we fetch all your incidents to show in a list, we now do it in batches which will speed up loading times
