What it does

Gives the current on-call engineer a one-line Slack command to declare themselves offline. The workflow immediately finds a covering responder whose local time is within working hours, transfers all of that engineer's active PagerDuty incidents, and confirms the handoff to everyone involved.

When to use it

Use it when responders need a fast, self-service way to bail out cleanly, for example losing connectivity, a family emergency, or end-of-shift. It avoids the manual dance of messaging a teammate and editing the schedule by hand mid-incident.

How it works

  1. 1An engineer invokes a Slack slash command declaring themselves unavailable.
  2. 2The workflow looks up that engineer's active PagerDuty incidents and rotation.
  3. 3A logic branch selects the next responder whose timezone is in working hours.
  4. 4It reassigns every active incident to the covering responder in PagerDuty.
  5. 5It applies a temporary schedule override so new pages also route correctly.
  6. 6It replies in Slack confirming the handoff and tagging the new owner.
