Teams are a means of organizing collaborators (team members) and integrations.
  • Each user can be a member of multiple teams.
  • Each integration belongs to exactly one team.
  • Each incident triggered by an integration is thus available for collaboration only to the members of the integration’s team.

Roles

A user has one of the following roles within a team:
  • Member: A member can collaborate on all incidents, view the team calendar, get an engagement report and create their own personal overrides.
  • Administrator: An admin can additionally set up the escalation schedules, create overrides for the whole team and create and manage all of the team’s integrations plus the respective advanced routing in the team. Also, they can manage the team’s users.

Inviting Members

After setting up your team, you’re instantly assigned the Administrator role and become the primary account holder for billing purposes. Refer to our Billing section for more details. Inviting colleagues is straightforward:

Team Overview

The team overview show all the teams you have a team role in or, if you’re a billable user, that are biiled by you. For users wit organization roles, it also shows teams of your organization that you don’t have an explicit role in. Therefore, filtering this view via team labels or team names can be handy for people with a higher number of teams.
