PagerDuty announced the launch of several new capabilities across the PagerDuty Operations Cloud℠: Workflow Automation for Salesforce Service Cloud and Zendesk as well as the release of Private Status Pages for improved alignment and coordination of internal stakeholders.
Customer service teams can potentially reduce the cost associated with using alternate private status pages by as much as 50%1, drive down mean time to resolution (MTTR), improve SLAs and provide better customer experiences with the flexibility and control required to manage stakeholder communications associated with major incidents. CIOs can potentially lower the total cost of ownership associated with incident management practices through an integrated platform to connect customer service teams, internal stakeholders and engineers.
“Leading global brands cannot afford the cost and risk associated with major operational failures that impact their customers and revenue," said Jennifer Tejada, Chairperson and CEO at PagerDuty. “PagerDuty customers continue to choose the Operations Cloud to protect and grow their digital revenue, reduce operating expenses and more efficiently ensure positive customer experiences and trust.”
PagerDuty’s customer service solutions enables teams to detect and react within a few seconds for incidents surfaced by customers in customer service solutions like Salesforce, Zendesk and ServiceNow Customer Service Management. PagerDuty Customer Service Operations (CSOps) delivers a seamless collaboration experience between technical and customer service teams to more quickly and efficiently manage customer issues. By providing better visibility into IT services and enabling a direct line to the service owner to communicate customer-reported issues, PagerDuty is helping customers reduce service interruptions and outages.
PagerDuty triggers workflow automation capabilities from Salesforce Service Cloud and Zendesk, unifying customer service teams on the front lines and technical teams behind the service. Workflow Automation for Salesforce Service Cloud and Zendesk empowers customer support agents to invoke the right response workflows in the context of the apps they normally work with, saving overall time spent on the incident. Specifically, a customer service workflow can be run to inform and notify customer success managers and customer service executives to alert them of a major incident at one of the accounts they manage or oversee, promoting employee engagement and reducing internal toil. Workflows can also be created via Slack channel or Zoom meeting to initiate incident management from customer-reported incidents.
PagerDuty’s integrated Workflow Automation and Private Status Pages reduce coordination overhead with a unified platform that empowers customer service agents, improves visibility, and accelerates resolutions with less total cost of ownership than manual, fragmented and disparate point solutions.
With Private Status Pages, a complement to the company’s previously launched Public Status Pages, PagerDuty offers one centralized platform to easily manage communications with both internal and external stakeholders during large-scale incidents. Updates can be automated or delivered from a “human-in-the-loop” approach, giving all relevant stakeholders a single source of truth. The addition of Private Status Pages to the suite of capabilities within CSOps means companies can consolidate point solutions and save money by using PagerDuty’s unified platform for their incident response and management communications processes. The automation and generative AI-enabled updates PagerDuty offers within the platform further reduce the flood of support tickets, standardize incident response processes, resolve customer issues more quickly, and provide customers with additional clarity and real-time transparency.
“Today, customers expect great digital experiences at every stage, whether it is a transaction online, an interaction with a customer services team, or via every generative AI response,” said Sean Scott, Chief Product Development Officer at PagerDuty. “PagerDuty continues to reaffirm our mission by expanding the power of the PagerDuty Operations Cloud, which empowers customers to grow and protect revenue while improving their customers’ success.”

Developers building AI applications are not just looking for fault patterns after deployment; they must detect issues quickly during development and have the ability to prevent issues after going live. Unfortunately, traditional observability tools can no longer meet the needs of AI-driven enterprise application development. AI-powered detection and auto-remediation tools designed to keep pace with rapid development are now emerging to proactively manage performance and prevent downtime ...
Every few years, the cybersecurity industry adopts a new buzzword. "Zero Trust" has endured longer than most — and for good reason. Its promise is simple: trust nothing by default, verify everything continuously. Yet many organizations still hesitate to implement Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). The problem isn't that ZTNA doesn't work. It's that it's often misunderstood ...
For many retail brands, peak season is the annual stress test of their digital infrastructure. It's also when often technical dashboards glow green, yet customer feedback, digital experience frustration, and conversion trends tell a different story entirely. Over the past several years, we've seen the same pattern across retail, financial services, travel, and media: internal application performance metrics fail to capture the true experience of users connecting over local broadband, mobile carriers, and congested networks using multiple devices across geographies ...
PostgreSQL promises greater flexibility, performance, and cost savings compared to proprietary alternatives. But successfully deploying it isn't always straightforward, and there are some hidden traps along the way that even seasoned IT leaders can stumble into. In this blog, I'll highlight five of the most common pitfalls with PostgreSQL deployment and offer guidance on how to avoid them, along with the best path forward ...
The rise of hybrid cloud environments, the explosion of IoT devices, the proliferation of remote work, and advanced cyber threats have created a monitoring challenge that traditional approaches simply cannot meet. IT teams find themselves drowning in a sea of data, struggling to identify critical threats amidst a deluge of alerts, and often reacting to incidents long after they've begun. This is where AI and ML are leveraged ...
Three practices, chaos testing, incident retrospectives, and AIOps-driven monitoring, are transforming platform teams from reactive responders into proactive builders of resilient, self-healing systems. The evolution is not just technical; it's cultural. The modern platform engineer isn't just maintaining infrastructure. They're product owners designing for reliability, observability, and continuous improvement ...
Getting applications into the hands of those who need them quickly and securely has long been the goal of a branch of IT often referred to as End User Computing (EUC). Over recent years, the way applications (and data) have been delivered to these "users" has changed noticeably. Organizations have many more choices available to them now, and there will be more to come ... But how did we get here? Where are we going? Is this all too complicated? ...
