In short

How do I hand off an on-call Mattermost channel cleanly?

At every shift change, WebRun summarizes open incidents and unresolved threads from the outgoing Mattermost on-call channel, posts that summary to Slack as a searchable record, and sends the incoming on-call person a direct Telegram alert. Resolving the actual incidents stays with the engineers, shift to shift.

  • Every shift starts with a clear, written handoff
  • Nothing open gets lost between outgoing and incoming on-call
  • Handoffs build a searchable history in Slack over time

Questions, answered

Does WebRun resolve open incidents itself?

No. It only summarizes what's still open and hands it off. Resolving an incident stays the job of the on-call engineer.

Why post to Slack as well as Telegram?

The Telegram message gets the incoming on-call person moving fast. The Slack post keeps a searchable record of every handoff over time.

What if the outgoing shift had nothing open?

The handoff still posts and simply confirms there's nothing outstanding, so the incoming on-call person starts with a clean record either way.
