Incident search with @incident

October 7, 2025

Earlier this year, we launched @incident which opened up loads of new ways that responders could interact with our product. Now, we’ve added a new capability, which allows for incident search with @incident .

You can now ask questions such as:

  • Have we seen incidents like this before?
  • Did we have an incident about high database CPU in February?
  • What other incidents have affected customer X?

All customers with our chatbot enabled can now start asking either by tagging @incident in Slack or going direct to the Chat tab in the dashboard.

Please note, we will never search for private incidents, these will always remain ‘invisible’ to @incident.

Merge pending alerts when merging incidents

Previously, if you merged incident A into incident B, and incident A had pending grouped alerts (alerts you never confirmed as part of that incident), we would create an entirely new incident C with those pending alerts.

Now, as part of merging, we'll ask what you want to do with these existing alerts, giving you the option to include them into the merged incident. We've also added a handy "Attach all" button, as previously you had to click through each alert and mark it as related.

What else we’ve shipped

New

  • We have a new native alert source for Expel
  • You can now unlink alerts from an incident in the dashboard when you've accidentally marked it as related
  • Notify in Slack when a Slack user token used for privileged actions is no longer valid

Improvements

  • "No value" option now renders correctly in custom field dropdown
  • The user data source in our Terraform provider now uses case-insensitive email matching
  • When a user clicks the View tasks button in Slack, it will open the post-incident tasks with the view expanded.

Bug fixes

  • "Lasted" time for maintenance in dashboard now uses the actual maintenance time rather than scheduled
  • Fix a bug in the Android app where the back button didn't work when trying to navigate away from alert details
  • If you have the same Jira organisation connected to multiple incident.io organisations we associate follow-ups created in Jira with incidents in incident.io on the basis of the external id and the most recently created incident
  • Fixed a bug in the post-incident follow-ups where it showed 0% exported follow-ups

So good, you’ll break things on purpose
