Incident Notifications
Stay informed about incidents through notifications delivered to participants and responders.
How Notifications Work
Notifications are sent when key events occur on incidents you’re involved in.
Notification Triggers
You receive notifications when:
- You are @mentioned in a comment
- You are added as a participant
- An incident you’re participating in has a status or severity change
- You are the incident lead and the incident is updated
Who Receives Notifications
Incident Participants Anyone who has acknowledged, commented, or been mentioned on the incident.
Incident Lead The assigned lead receives updates about their incidents.
Mentioned Users Users who are @mentioned in comments receive a notification.
Notification Delivery
Notifications are delivered through:
- In-app notifications: Appear in the notification center
- Email: Sent to your account email address
Reducing Notification Noise
Acknowledgment Suppression
When an incident is acknowledged, follow-up alerts may be suppressed to prevent notification fatigue. Participant notifications continue for active users.
Automation-Based Notifications
Use automations to control when additional notifications are sent based on conditions like severity, status, or time elapsed.
Configuring Notifications
Personal Preferences
Adjust your notification preferences in your profile settings.
Project-Level Settings
