Automation recipe
A branching automation that labels a new incident task and routes it by severity, paging on-call for the most serious and notifying a team lead for the next tier.
Overview
When an incident is raised, the first minutes matter. An automated runbook labels the incident and routes it by severity so the right people are alerted without anyone consulting a wiki first.
This template is the built-in Incident runbook recipe in Atlas. It fires when an incident task is created, applies an incident label, and branches on severity to page on-call, notify a team lead, or log only.
Because it ships as a branching recipe, the automation templates page shows the severity paths as a tree before you install, so you can see exactly how routing will behave.
