Spin up a war-room on demand from a Slack slash command

When an engineer runs a Slack command, this workflow creates a Zoom bridge, opens a tracking Sentry-linked incident, files a Linear issue for follow-up.

What it does

Sometimes you know there's an incident before any monitor fires. This workflow lets any engineer type a Slack slash command to instantly stand up a Zoom war-room, create a Linear tracking issue, and pull recent Sentry errors for the named service into the thread — all without leaving Slack.

When to use it

Use it for human-declared incidents: a customer report, a gut-feel degradation, or a planned risky change where you want a bridge ready. It gives operators a one-line way to formalize a war-room and start a paper trail.

How it works

  1. 1A Slack slash command (with the service name and a short description) triggers the workflow.
  2. 2Zoom creates an incident bridge titled with the declared service.
  3. 3The workflow queries Sentry for recent unresolved issues on that service to attach as context.
  4. 4Linear creates a tracking issue tagged as an incident with the bridge link in the description.
  5. 5Slack replies in-thread with the Zoom join link, the Linear ticket URL, and the top Sentry errors.
