Channel Mapping

You can change what channels Phoenix Incidents messages are sent to if you don't like the defaults created for you. Use the drop downs to make changes.

  • Company Incident Comms Channel: This is your primary incident channel where all new incident messages will appear.

  • Reporting Channel: All automated reporting will show up here

👥 Auto-invite people to every incident

Beyond the people invited for a specific impacted product, you can have a set of people join every incident channel automatically. Use Auto-invite to all incident channels to search for and select the users and Slack user groups (aliases) that should always be added. They are invited to each new incident channel as it is created, which is handy for an on-call lead, a comms person, or a NOC alias.
