When a production alert fires, Neotask opens the incident before a human finishes reading the page. It reads the PagerDuty trigger, pulls the failing service's recent deploys from GitHub and error spikes from Datadog, opens a dedicated Slack channel, and posts a first-response summary with likely blast radius — typically inside 90 seconds of the original alert. The on-call engineer starts triage with context already assembled instead of tab-switching between four dashboards while the clock runs.
The real cost of an incident is rarely the fix — it's the fifteen minutes engineers spend re-deriving what changed, who else is affected, and which Slack channel is now the source of truth. PagerDuty tells you something broke; it doesn't tell you the deploy from 40 minutes ago is the likely cause, or that three other alerts fired in the same window and are probably the same root issue. Manually, someone opens the incident channel, pastes the alert, pings the last engineer who touched the service, and starts pulling logs — while the outage continues. Neotask closes that gap by treating the PagerDuty webhook as the trigger for automated correlation, not just a notification: it cross-references recent commits, checks Sentry for matching stack traces, and drops a structured incident brief before the responder has opened a second tab.
A PagerDuty incident (or a Datadog monitor breach) triggers the workflow via webhook. Neotask reads severity, service name, and the alert payload, and checks it against open incidents to avoid spawning a duplicate for the same underlying failure.
Integration: pagerduty
It queries GitHub for merges to the affected service in the last two hours and flags the most likely suspect commit by file overlap with the failing component, plus any Sentry issues with a matching stack signature.
Integration: github
A dedicated Slack channel is created (or reused, for a recurring alert) with a pinned summary: severity, affected service, suspect deploy, current error rate from Datadog, and a running responder list.
Integration: slack
Neotask checks Datadog dashboards for downstream services showing elevated latency or error rates and appends them to the brief, so responders know what's actually at risk versus what's just noisy.
Integration: datadog
As engineers post updates in the channel, Neotask timestamps them into a running incident log — no separate doc to remember to update mid-fire.
Once the incident is resolved (PagerDuty status change), it auto-generates a postmortem draft with the timeline, suspect cause, and blast radius pre-filled, leaving root-cause analysis and action items for the team.
No — it removes the manual assembly work so whoever is incident commander starts with a brief instead of a blank channel. Decisions, severity calls, and comms still sit with your team.
It's presented as a likely candidate with its confidence basis (file overlap, timing), not a verdict. Responders can dismiss it in the channel and Neotask won't re-surface it for that incident.
It can, if you want it to — e.g. auto-adding the service owner from a GitHub CODEOWNERS file to the PagerDuty incident. Most teams start read-only and add paging once they trust the correlation.
Yes — New Relic, Grafana, and Prometheus alerts can trigger the same flow; Datadog is simply the most common first integration.
