IT OPS

Incident commander agent: draft, decide channels, and broadcast everywhere

An agent takes a Sentry-detected outage, judges blast radius, writes channel-tailored updates, and broadcasts to the status page, customer email, and a Discord community at once.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerSentry high-severity issue handed to agentSentrySentry
  • LogicAgent judges blast radius and chooses channels
  • ActionPublish status-page update with ETAHTTP webhook
  • ActionEmail tailored notice to affected accountsGmailGmail
  • ActionPost community heads-up to DiscordDiscordDiscord
  • OutputLog decision and copy to SlackSlack

What it does

Acts as an autonomous incident communicator. Instead of one canned message, the agent reasons about who is affected and how badly, then composes distinct copy for each audience — terse for the status page, apologetic and detailed for email, casual for the community — and pushes them all in one coordinated broadcast.

When to use it

Use it when an outage needs to reach multiple audiences in different tones simultaneously and you want judgment about scope, not a fixed template. Best for products with both enterprise customers and a community channel.

How it works

  1. 1Sentry fires on a high-severity issue and hands the event to the agent.
  2. 2The agent assesses blast radius from error metadata and decides which channels warrant an update and at what severity.
  3. 3It publishes a concise update with ETA to the status page via an HTTP webhook.
  4. 4It sends a tailored, customer-friendly notice by email to affected accounts.
  5. 5It posts a community-tone heads-up to Discord.
  6. 6It logs the full decision and copy to Slack for the on-call record.
