🎨 Customize Your Incident Overview Banner in Slack

We’re all about details that add a personal touch. From choosing the emoji reactions you use to track timelines and action items, to creating highly customizable Slack blocks, we give you unparalleled control over how exactly you want to manage incidents in Slack. We’ve just added another touch of configurability by allowing you to upload your own banner image in the Incident Overview pop-up in Slack. By customizing your banner, you can ensure your brand's look and feel is consistently displayed even internally. It's another way that Rootly integrates seamlessly into your existing tooling and processes instead of feeling like an additional standalone tool.

You can upload your image in your Slack Account settings in Rootly (Integrations > Slack > Configure). You’ll see it when you click the ℹ️ Show More Info button from the pinned Slack message in your incident channel, or when you use the /incident overview command in Slack.

🐛 Fixed Status:500 error when loading workflow versions
