How It Works
The workflow initiates through a manual trigger, allowing flexible incident management initiation. It connects directly with PagerDuty's API to create new incidents, update existing ones, and retrieve critical incident details. The automation processes input data, validates incident parameters, and executes precise actions like incident creation, status modification, and information retrieval. By leveraging n8n's node-based architecture, the workflow can handle complex conditional logic, error handling, and seamless data transformation between different systems.
