What it does

This workflow bridges the customer side and the responder side of an outage. On a short schedule it pulls new Zendesk tickets, checks them against the currently active PagerDuty incident for the affected service, and attaches the matching tickets as a note on that incident. Responders get a live count of who is hurting without leaving PagerDuty.

When to use it

Run it for the duration of an active incident when you need to quantify and reference customer impact inside PagerDuty. Useful for incident commanders who want a single dashboard tying support volume to the technical incident.

How it works

  1. 1A short-interval schedule fires the flow.
  2. 2The flow fetches the currently active PagerDuty incident for the watched service.
  3. 3New Zendesk tickets since the last run are retrieved.
  4. 4A filter keeps only tickets whose subject or tags match the incident's impact signature.
  5. 5Matching ticket links are posted as a note on the PagerDuty incident.
  6. 6A running impact count is updated in the incident's Slack channel.
