Summarise Incident Timelines Automatically

Every morning, WebRun finds incidents that were resolved in the past 24 hours, reads the PagerDuty alert timeline and Jira ticket history, compiles a structured incident summary, and drafts it into a new Jira post-mortem ticket for your team to review and complete.

In short

How can I automatically generate incident timelines for post-mortems?

WebRun assembles your post-mortem timeline automatically. Every morning, it finds incidents resolved in the past 24 hours, reads the PagerDuty alert history and Jira ticket trail, compiles a structured chronology with timestamps and actions, and drafts a new Jira post-mortem ticket - so your team starts the review with the facts already in place.

  • Post-mortem drafts ready before the team's morning standup
  • No manual log-scraping after an incident
  • Consistent structured timeline format across every incident

Questions, answered

Will it publish or close the post-mortem ticket automatically?

No - the ticket is created in 'Draft' status. Your team fills in root cause and action items, then publishes when ready.

What if the same incident spans two days?

It uses the resolved timestamp to decide which run picks it up, so a long incident is captured the morning after it closes.

Can it pull in the Slack thread from the incident channel too?

Yes. Add your incident Slack channel to the plan and WebRun includes a link to the thread and a summary of key messages in the Jira draft.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
