How to enable and use the PagerDuty integration
Edited

Overview

The PagerDuty integration allows you to enforce customer SLAs by defining rules to automatically triggering PagerDuty alerts.

Use rules to set conditions for messages that require a PagerDuty alert, such as unreplied time or the keyword "urgent"), and Front will trigger a PagerDuty Escalation Policy for those messages automatically.

You must have Front company admin permissions to set up the integration.
