Post-Incident Reliability Recap from Resolved PagerDuty Incident

When a PagerDuty incident resolves, it gathers the incident's Honeycomb traces and error-budget impact and posts a plain-English recap to MS Teams for non-engineering stakeholders.

What it does

Closes the loop after an incident. When a PagerDuty incident is marked resolved, the workflow pulls the long-running traces from the incident window and the error budget the event consumed, then writes a stakeholder-facing recap: what broke, how long, the customer impact, and how much reliability headroom it cost. It is deliberately not an engineering postmortem — it's the version product and leadership read.

When to use it

Use it when every incident triggers a flurry of "so what actually happened?" questions from outside engineering. It delivers the answer automatically the moment the incident closes.

How it works

  1. 1A PagerDuty incident-resolved event triggers the workflow.
  2. 2It uses the incident time window to query Honeycomb for the implicated long-running traces and the SLO budget burned during the outage.
  3. 3A logic step skips low-impact incidents that consumed negligible budget.
  4. 4An LLM step drafts a plain-English recap with duration, impact, and budget cost.
  5. 5The recap posts to the stakeholder MS Teams channel, linked to the closed incident.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect PagerDutyIncidents, on-call, escalations.
  2. 2
    Connect HoneycombDistributed traces and queries.
  3. 3
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  4. 4
    Connect Microsoft TeamsChannels, chats, files.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
