Overview

There are three ways to easily create a new incident within Rootly.

  • Manually within Rootly.
  • Via Slack.
  • Via API.
Web Interface

Creating an incident is meant to be as simple as possible. Simply click the "Create new incident' button in the Incidents to start the process.

The New Incident dialog will appear and an incident only requires a few pieces of information to get started. Click "Create Incident" when you're done and the incident will be created and you will be the initial owner.
