On-Call Manual Incident Intake to Status Page

An on-call engineer submits a short incident form via webhook; the flow enriches it with the linked Sentry issue, drafts a customer-ready update at the chosen severity.

What it does

Gives on-call a fast manual path to publish a status update for incidents that automated alerts miss, such as a degraded third party or a partial outage only humans noticed. The engineer provides a few fields and the flow does the polished, plain-language writing.

When to use it

Use it when not every incident originates from a Sentry threshold alert and you still want consistent, on-brand public comms without writing them by hand under pressure. Pairs well with the automated Sentry drafter as the human-initiated companion.

How it works

  1. 1A webhook receives a structured form: title, affected area, chosen severity, and an optional Sentry issue link.
  2. 2If a Sentry issue is referenced, its details are pulled in for accurate context.
  3. 3OpenAI drafts a plain-language update matching the selected severity tier.
  4. 4The draft is posted to Slack for a quick confirm before going public.
  5. 5On confirmation, the update publishes to the status page via HTTP webhook.
