Escalation Policies

Route incidents to the right people in timed escalation levels.

Open platform overview

How It Works

Escalation policies define who gets notified, through which channel, and in what sequence. This ensures critical incidents do not stall on a single responder path.

Core Capabilities

  • Multi-level escalation sequencing
  • User and schedule-based targets
  • Channel routing across chat, webhook, and fallback
  • Signal-to-policy scope controls

Typical Use Cases

  • Critical outage paging with timed fallback
  • Tiered response for severity levels
  • Cross-team handoff automation
