Custom Content Templates

Streamline incident management with customizable message and description templates. Define personalized alerts using payload from configured sources, and enhance response efficiency.

Custom Content Templates empower users to define personalized Incident messages and description templates by utilizing the payload of a configured alert source for this service. If there is a template configured, the incoming Incident will have a customized message and description.

In the absence of user-defined templates, the system will default to using the Incident message and description templates defined by Squadcast, which is the current behavior.

Note: This feature is available only in the Premium and Enterprise plans.
