Many times, when an organization is testing On-Call, they aren’t always able to test out all our scheduling functionality because they will still need to use PagerDuty until they can run a full migration over to our product. This can be quite disappointing as our scheduling, cover requests, and overrides are quite nice to work with, if we do say so ourselves 😉
So, we’ve built out the ability to mirror schedules from incident.io to PagerDuty. This allows you to use the sparkliest bits of our product and have that reflected into PagerDuty until you are ready to fully migrate to our product.
If you’d like to see this feature for Opsgenie as well, let us know!
Bulk import schedules from PagerDuty and Opsgenie
While we could import schedules directly from PagerDuty and Opsgenie for a long time now, we now allow you to bulk import. This is a great timesaver if you have loads of schedules you want to import at the same time.
What else we’ve shipped
Improvements
Slack On-call notifications will now include more information about the alert
Within the Confluence / Jira settings pages, it’s now more obvious that the app is installed via Atlassian's marketplace
