Incident.io is a Slack-native incident management platform for engineering teams. It manages the full incident lifecycle — from declaration to resolution and post-mortem — inside Slack without switching tools. Teams declare incidents with a slash command, track status updates in a dedicated Slack channel, and auto-generate post-mortems from the incident timeline. Unlike PagerDuty (alerting-first), Incident.io focuses on communication and coordination during the incident. Used by Intercom, Canva, and Monzo.
