From alarm to the right person, without waking the whole team
An alarm fires, Flomation gathers the context around it, works out who owns the thing that broke, and asks that person a clear question in the channel they are already in.
- Best for
- On-call and platform teams
- Triggers on
- CloudWatch, webhooks, log patterns
- Works with
- AWS, Slack, Telegram, your tracker
The alert is the easy part
An alarm tells you something is wrong. Everything after that, what changed, who owns it, whether it is already being handled, is done by a human at an awkward hour.
- Alert fatigue. The channel fills with notices nobody can act on.
- Context gathering. The first ten minutes go on logs, recent deploys and dashboards.
- Ownership. Finding who to wake takes longer than the fix sometimes does.
- The write-up. The timeline is reconstructed afterwards, from memory.
Triage before a human is involved
The flow does the gathering, applies the rules you would have applied, and only then puts it in front of somebody.
Context attached automatically
Recent deploys, matching log lines and the current metric are collected the moment the alarm fires, and travel with the alert.
Routed by ownership, not by rota
Look up who owns the service, check whether it is already being handled, and escalate only when the first person does not answer.
A decision, not a notification
Ask a clear question with buttons: acknowledge, escalate, or silence for an hour. What was chosen, and by whom, is recorded.
What triage looks like in Flomation
One alarm in, one well-formed question out to the person who can answer it.

Fewer pages, better ones
Let the flow do the first ten minutes
Point one alarm at Flomation and see what arrives in the channel. Add the next alarm once the first one has stopped needing you.
