GitHub Status → Slack Alert → PagerDuty Incident
Automatically monitor GitHub's enhanced status page and create incident responses when outages affect your development team's productivity.
Workflow Steps
Zapier
Monitor GitHub status page RSS feed
Set up a Zapier trigger that watches GitHub's status page RSS feed for new incidents or maintenance announcements. Configure it to trigger on status changes that affect core services like Git operations, Actions, or Pages.
Slack
Send formatted alert to dev channel
Create a Slack message that includes the incident title, affected services, current status, and estimated resolution time. Post to your #dev-alerts or #infrastructure channel with @channel mention for critical outages.
PagerDuty
Create incident for critical outages
Use Zapier's filter to only create PagerDuty incidents for major outages (not maintenance). Include GitHub's incident details, affected services, and link to status page. Assign to your DevOps on-call rotation.
