  • Pluggable command interface for easy service integration – REST APIs which third party services can easily target to create new escalations.
  • Third party service provider integration:
    • Integration with Gmail. Claim incidents via buttons in your inbox and by replying to emails.
    • Supports escalating via SMS and Phone using twilio.
    • Integration with Slack for notifications via IM.
