Create and update incident records for closed incidents

Automatically monitor your weekly schedule for closed incidents across Schedule by Zapier, Code by Zapier, and Notion. Create and update incident records when closed incidents import, resolution timestamps populate, or postmortem links are availableβ€”so you can reduce manual reporting, speed up resolution review, and keep incident data current.

How this automation updates your incident records

When the weekly closed-incident batch is ready, delays can stall post-incident reporting and leave resolution metrics inconsistent. This automation runs an API import, parses and calculates business-hours resolution time, and then creates or updates Notion incident recordsβ€”so your team can review faster.

  1. 1.Runs weekly closed-incident import

    Integrate Schedule by Zapier and scheduling tools to run a weekly trigger when the import window opens to start incident reporting.
