Connecting PagerDuty To Entitle

Overview

PagerDuty is a platform that provides real-time alerts, on-call scheduling, and incident response services to help businesses minimize downtime and handle digital operations effectively.

As an admin, you can connect Entitle to PagerDuty, get current on-call employees based on PagerDuty groups, and define dedicated Birthright policies or Approval workflows that provide those on-call employees with access to your applications.

Notes

• The connection setup should take up to a few minutes.
• A browser refresh might be required in order to see the changes.

There are 2 ways to ensure the connection was successfully established:

1. Approval workflows - A new section, 'in schedule' will appear, and the on-call groups will be listed below.

2. Birthright policies - On-call groups will be populated once a policy is created or edited.

On-Call integration sync times

On-call integrations are synced automatically twice every hour, at HH:05 and HH:35 (e.g., 12:05, 12:35, 13:05, etc.). Allow a few minutes after these times for any changes to appear.
