Automatically evaluate GitHub service incidents for business impact and notify stakeholders while blocking calendar time for incident response.

Workflow Steps

1

GitHub

Trigger webhook on repository issues

Set up GitHub webhooks in your critical repositories to fire when issues are labeled with 'incident' or 'outage'. Configure the webhook URL to point to your Zapier webhook endpoint.

2

Airtable

Calculate incident severity score

Create an Airtable base with incident severity logic. Use formulas to score incidents based on affected repositories, user impact, and service dependencies. Set up automation to assign priority levels (P0-P3) automatically.

3

Gmail

Send stakeholder notification

Configure Zapier to send templated emails to stakeholders when P0 or P1 incidents are detected. Include incident details, estimated impact, and expected resolution timeline. Use different email templates for different severity levels.

4

Google Calendar

Block incident response time

Automatically create calendar blocks for the incident response team based on severity level. P0 incidents get immediate 4-hour blocks, P1 incidents get 2-hour blocks. Include incident details and relevant team members in the calendar event.
