Automatically monitor GitHub's enhanced status page and create incident responses when outages affect your development team's productivity.

Workflow Steps

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.
