There are just 3 steps:

1️⃣ Sign Up (via Slack)

2️⃣ Select your integrations

3️⃣ Add incident.io to Slack

A couple of notes:

  • You will need a Slack admin to install us due to Slack's permissioning model.

  • The app uses /inc and /incident as slash commands. If you already have an app installed or install one after ours that uses either of these commands, then just note that Slack will default to using the most recently installed app when that command is run.


1️⃣ Sign Up (via Slack)

From the sign-up page, you'll be asked to 'Sign in with Slack'.

We'll create an account for you and store some basic information, like your name and avatar. We'll also ask for a restricted set of permissions in order for incident.io to work. Read more in our Security FAQs.

2️⃣ Select your integrations

This is just so we get a sense of the most-used tools in our user base. We explain how to set up your integrations ➡️ here.

3️⃣ Add incident.io to Slack

Last step: 'Add incident.io to Slack'.

When you've done this, we'll create you an #incidents channel, and install the incident.io app into your workspace.

...all done! ⚡️

Everyone in your Slack workspace can now use incident.io — they simply need to go through the same 'Login with Slack' flow. They will not be asked to 'Add incident.io to Slack' - that step only happens once.

Let's go declare some incidents!
