Attach your incident debriefs

Weekly Update

Once your incident has been resolved, you might want to organize a debrief. This is usually a meeting for everyone to discuss what happened, and any follow-up tasks that would stop this kind of problem from happening again.

As of this week, you can now link a debrief event to your incident, directly from Google Calendar! This means that everyone knows when the debrief is happening and who will be attending.

To try it out, you’ll need to install our Google Calendar integration and choose which calendars we should subscribe to. Anytime you create an event in one of these calendars, and it includes the incident identifier (e.g. INC-123) in the title or description, we’ll automatically attach it.

If you identify the meeting as a debrief, we’ll post the details to the channel. Additionally, we’ll mark the Schedule a debrief learning task as complete for you.

We can also help you build a debrief event which invites the right participants; choose Schedule a debrief from the incident homepage sidebar and we’ll prefill an event which includes key members and links from the incident. You just need to choose a time and hit “save”!
