Easily Manage Oncalls within Slack

Present Issue

Synchronising user groups with PagerDuty schedules manually can be time-consuming and error-prone, leading to discrepancies in task assignment and resource allocation.

 Without automated synchronisation, there's a risk of overlooking schedule updates or changes, which could result in miscommunications and delays in incident response. 

Additionally, manual synchronisation may lack real-time updates, hindering teams from promptly adapting to dynamic operational requirements. 

These inefficiencies can ultimately impact team productivity and compromise the effectiveness of incident management processes, highlighting the need for a more streamlined and automated solution like Pagerly.
