Automation is the process of using the assistance of tools, scripts, and software to perform operations by repeating predefined actions. It’s essential for organizations to keep up with the demands placed on incident response teams. The PagerDuty and Slack integration allows organizations to achieve operational maturity by dynamically automating work across teams of experts to rapidly drive critical issues to resolution and at the same time drive coordinated response while keeping business stakeholders informed in real-time, all from Slack.

A significant hurdle for most organizations considering automation is uncertainty about where to start.
