  2. On the next page, you will have the following fields to fill out for the step:
    1. Name (required) - A descriptive name for the step. This will be what is shown on the Runbooks tab for any incidents this Runbook has attached to.
    2. Alert Summary (required) - The summary/title of the alert. It defaults to the name of the incident, but you can adjust it as needed**
    3. Alert Body - A description/body for the alert
    4. Who to page (required) - Select the target(s) to page as part of this Runbook step. The available targets include Teams, Escalation Policies, On-Call Schedules, Users, and Webhook Targets.

When the Runbook step executes, you should see a Signals alert created and automatically linked to the incident that executed the step.
