Mention the on-call situation in Slack channels‍
Table of Content

Get each team's current oncall automatically and tag them into any Slack topic. To bring up the current oncall in any channel, topic, or conversation, use @Pagerly . You may also use this to automate responses.

What are we looking for?

The main issue with mentioning the current oncall in Slack threads is ensuring the information is always accurate and up-to-date, especially with frequent schedule changes. Outdated mentions can cause confusion and delays in response. Additionally, automated mentions might clutter conversations, hindering focus on critical information. Robust integration is essential to handle schedule changes and edge cases effectively.
