Onboarding Integration Quickstart

This article will outline the onboarding process that you will follow upon your first login to the platform. Our easy to use flow will walk you through each step of the onboarding process to make sure that your team has the right tools to respond to your first incident right away.

To be prepared for the following setup, you will need to have the ability to install integrations to your tools.

We will be leading you through the set up of the following integrations

  1. Chat Integration
  2. Video Conferencing
  3. Project Management
