PagerDuty
PagerDuty is an incident management platform used by operations and engineering teams to detect, triage, and resolve critical issues fast. When something breaks — a server goes down, an API stops responding, or a payment system throws errors — PagerDuty routes alerts to the right on-call person via SMS, phone call, push notification, or email, and tracks the incident through to resolution.
Integrating PagerDuty with n8n adds a layer of intelligent automation to your incident response. Instead of relying solely on monitoring tools to trigger PagerDuty alerts, you can use n8n to create incidents based on custom conditions from any data source: failed n8n workflows, abnormal database metrics, customer complaint spikes, or business KPIs that cross critical thresholds.
Common automation patterns include creating PagerDuty incidents when an e-commerce checkout error rate exceeds a threshold, automatically escalating unacknowledged incidents after a set period, and syncing incident data to Jira or Slack for post-incident tracking and communication.
Downtime costs real money, and the faster your team can respond, the less damage is done. At Osher, we have built monitoring and alerting workflows for businesses that need to know about problems before their customers do. Our BOM weather data pipeline project included automated error handling that flagged data processing failures in real time. If your incident response relies on manual monitoring or scattered alerts, our system integration team can connect your monitoring stack with PagerDuty through n8n. Our AI consulting team can help you design an alerting strategy that matches your team’s structure and on-call rotation.
