As some of you know, we’re using Statuspage to communicate about incidents and scheduled maintenance. Statuspage is a communication tool where we publish and send incident notifications to affected users.
Why are we using Statuspage?
Today you expect a certain level of transparency. When things go wrong, we need an easy way to communicate about those incidents. Using Statuspage as the single source of truth for all incident communication will allow us to focus more on fixing the problem, and less on managing communication in a variety of channels. Everything we publish in Statuspage can be shared across multiple channels including Email, SMS, Webhook URL, and more.
Here’s what Statuspage can help us with:
Proactively communicating with our users when things go wrong or in event of planned maintenance
Reducing support volume during incidents and downtime
Getting our internal teams on the same page during incidents
Being transparent with our customers by showing our uptime percentage
Scaling our incident communication process
Providing customization flexibility so you can be:
auto-subscribed to every incident
subscribed to individual components
subscribed to individual incidents
