1. #2071 ack to acknowledge
2. #2071 res to resolve

What if your region doesn't get phone/sms from our registered number?

You must still SMS us on our numbers, both of which are based in United States.

New feature

It's imperative to take mark your incident as acknowledged or resolved soon as you get an alert from us. Instead of having to make your way to the dashboard, you can reply to our email alert and take actions.

When you get an email alert for say, for example incident #123, reply with these reserved keywords -

#ack - Acknowledges incident #123

#res - Resolves incident #123

Don'ts

1. Do not reply with incident id, for example: #ack incident 123

2. Do not send in any attachments and only respond with the keywords

New feature

Upon feature request, we promptly looked in and released a new feature on our Slack app.

If any number of Slack alert(s) been sent for a new incident and you managed to resolve it from either Phone, SMS, Email or Dashboard or if the incident was automatically resolved, then the Slack message with automatically reflect the resolved state killing ambiguity on the status of an incident.

No actions are needed from your end and this will be available to all the existing and new Slack app installations.
