Announce new on-call floater to engineering team channel
Automatically monitor on-call slot start times across Google Calendar and Slack. Create owner-ready mentions and broadcast announcements and update channel topics when shifts begin and end—so engineers avoid manual channel updates, missed handoffs, and coverage confusion.
How this automation protects on-call clarity
When an on-call slot is about to start, engineers can miss who owns coverage and when it ends. This automation extracts the owner and sends channel announcements and updates the channel topic—so your team can align on coverage immediately.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
