The Blameless platform offers an integration with statuspage.io as part of the Communications Workflow module in Blameless. The integration allows for the following:
- Create a new incident on your statuspage from the external communications section in the comms lead workflow
- Publish updates to an existing incident on your statuspage, from the external communications section in the comms lead workflow
Statuspage is a communication application that integrates into the Blameless communication system. Its role is to inform users of outages and maintenance schedules, allowing users to subscribe via e-mail or text message for updates.
To set up the integration between Blameless and statuspage.io, you will need a few items:
- Statuspage.io API URL Prefix
- Statuspage.io API Key
- Statuspage.io Page ID
The API URL prefix can be found here: https://developer.statuspage.io/#section/Basics/URL-Prefix
The resulting prefix should look like something like this:https://api.statuspage.io/v1/
- To obtain an API Key & Page ID:
- Log in to your account at the following location: https://manage.statuspage.io/login
- Follow the instructions regarding retrieving your API key, URL, and Page ID information.
Now that you have all the required information, you just need to enter the appropriate values in the Blameless settings to enable the integration.
