πŸ“š Playbook Tasks

We are excited to launch Playbook Tasks, a checklist of pre-populated tasks whenever an incident starts that matches a specific criteria (e.g. security, high severity, etc.).

Consistency in incident response is everything. With playbook tasks, responders can work through a structured and interactive list of to-dos. Helpful for new responders who may not know the ropes, sensitive incidents that have regulatory requirements, and more.

  • Ability to pre-assign tasks or ad-hoc in both Slack and Web Platform
  • Lives alongside all other action items
  • Assign tasks to users or teams
  • Tasks can be enriched with markdown
  • Dynamically populates based on updates to the incident
  • Optionally track all tasks in Jira

Live today, customers can find it nested under Playbooks.
