# Post Rotation Updates to Slack Channels & Channel Topic

Pagerly keeps your entire team informed by automatically posting rotation changes to Slack channels and updating the channel topic with the latest on-call information. No more guessing who’s on-call or digging into schedules — the answer is always visible where your team works.

#### What Pagerly Can Do with Slack Channels

* Post updates to any Slack channel(s) whenever On-call rotation changes.\
  Messages clearly show:
* Who is currently on-call
* Shift duration and timing
* Team or rotation name
* Keeps everyone aligned without manual announcements.
* Add Custom Context Messages like runbook or any doc or anything

📝 **Auto-Update Slack Channel Topic**

  * Current on-call user(s)
  * Rotation name
  * Escalation or backup info (optional)<br>
