What does Opsgenie offer Track-It! users?

Track-IT sends notifications of new alerts. With Sentry's Integration, Opsgenie acts as a dispatcher for these alerts and determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls, and iPhone & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed.

Functionality of the integration

When an alert is created in Opsgenie, a workflow is created in Track-It!.
When users acknowledge, unacknowledge etc. an alert in Opsgenie, this action is added as a note to the related workflow in Track-It!.
When users add a note to alerts in Opsgenie, add note info is sent to Track-It!.
When the alert is closed in Opsgenie, the related workflow is closed in Track-It!.

Marid subscribes to alert actions in Opsgenie and reflects these actions on the Track-It! flow so that notifications are sent for Opsgenie alerts.
