Safely changing your on-call schedules

Editing schedules just got a lot easier! You can now configure future changes to a schedule with the confidence of knowing exactly how your schedule will look after the change.

You can now see a preview of the current and new version of a schedule next to each other when making changes to your schedules, make changes to a schedule to be effective from a future date, and restore earlier schedule versions!

Future schedule changes will allow you to easily onboard people onto a schedule rotation, change your working hours from a certain date, and more.

Check who is on call from Slack

You can now check who is on call by using a new shortcut /inc whoisoncall! This can help you find the right people to answer a question or triage an issue without paging them.

If you’ve added additional fields to the /inc escalate form (e.g. to return the escalation path based on a given Team), we’ll also show this field when using /inc whoisoncall.

Status page visitor graphs

When viewing a status page incident in the dashboard, you can now see a graph detailing the number of visitors recorded over that period. This helps you gauge the impact of an incident either during or after the fact, and can help highlight if more customers than expected noticed that something was wrong.
