Build your Catalog in minutes

Weekly Update

Catalog is powerful, generic, and highly configurable. It combines the features of incident.io together in a way that best fits your organization - powering automations and allowing you to increase the effectiveness of your incident response.

Given how much you can do with Catalog, it has been hard to get started - but no longer!

We are excited to be delivering a brand new Catalog onboarding experience to make our customers’ first touch points with Catalog quick, simple, and highly rewarding.

Getting started with Teams

We now guide you through the process of setting up your Teams in Catalog. This flow combined with our recent AI bulk editing experience makes it easy to build rock-solid foundations that immediately bring value across incident.io - all with just a few clicks!

Set up Teams in Catalog (2 mins)

With your Teams in Catalog, you can:

  • View the details of the impacted team in an incident, and contact its individual members.
  • Automatically message the affected team’s Slack channel when a P1 incident is declared.
  • Export follow-ups to the right Jira project, based on the Team that owns the follow-up.
  • And so much more!

The Team type can also then be built upon by other Catalog types, like Services…

Modeling your product with Services

Adding Service to your Catalog is the second step towards a creating a Catalog you can use to drive tons of automation.

Imagine this sequence of events:

  1. You receive an alert from your platform, which is routed to incident.io.
  2. incident.io pulls the service field from your alert payload, and correlates that to a Service catalog entry.
  3. Catalog is aware of which Team owns that Service, so it creates an incident and routes a message directly to the team’s Slack channel.

Once configured, the Service type can (optionally) be exported and managed as code, using the Catalog Importer to sync changes made in code to Catalog. Read more about Managing catalog types in Github.

Teams and Services are only the first two layers in building a powerful Catalog, and what makes sense to layer on next depends on your tooling, systems, and incident response process. You can see how our team use Catalog or get in touch with us via your customer Slack channel to learn more.
