Honeycomb Fast-Burn Alert to PagerDuty and Incident Review

On a Honeycomb fast-burn SLO alert webhook, opens a PagerDuty incident and files a same-day incident review item on Monday so the breach is both paged and tracked for follow-up.

What it does

Receives Honeycomb's burn-alert webhook, and when the alert is a fast-burn (high short-window burn multiple) it pages the on-call through PagerDuty and simultaneously opens an incident review item on Monday. The outcome is that a sudden error-budget burn is escalated for immediate response and captured for a structured post-incident review in one motion.

When to use it

Use this when Honeycomb already owns your SLO definitions and you want fast-burn events to drive both paging and review tracking without an operator copy-pasting between tools. Best for teams running a formal incident review cadence.

How it works

  1. 1A Honeycomb burn-alert webhook triggers the flow.
  2. 2A logic branch inspects the alert payload and proceeds only when the burn classification is fast-burn above the configured multiple.
  3. 3The flow opens a PagerDuty incident with the SLO name, burn rate, and a link back to the Honeycomb trigger.
  4. 4It creates a Monday incident review item pre-filled with the SLO, severity, and detection time.
  5. 5A Slack message links the new incident and the review item in the on-call channel.
