The on-call handoff note, written before the shift changes

Mitra writes your on-call handoff note. Every Monday at 9am the agent reads the week's PagerDuty pages and matches them to the fixes merged in GitHub. A Notion note covers what paged, what caused it and what is still unresolved, and the summary goes to Slack.

What the agent actually does.

  1. Read the week's pages

    The agent reads every PagerDuty incident from the past seven days, with who was paged and how long it took.

  2. Pair each page with its fix

    Incidents are matched to the pull requests and commits that closed them, so the note says what changed.

  3. Separate open from closed

    Anything without a resolution or a merged fix goes into an open list, with how long it has been sitting.

  4. Write the note in Notion

    One dated page per shift: what paged, what caused it, what changed, and what the next person inherits.

  5. Post the summary

    A short version lands in the on-call channel as the shift starts, linking to the full note.

Make it yours.

For teams who hand on-call over weekly, where the handoff is a verbal summary from whoever remembers the worst night. Change any of this by saying so — there is nothing to rewire.

  • Send the note to the incoming on-call instead of posting in the channel.
  • Run at the end of the shift, while the week is still fresh.
  • Add a count of pages per service, so the noisiest one is obvious.

Questions, answered.

What should an on-call handoff note include?
A good handoff answers three things, and Mitra writes all three: what paged during the shift, what caused each page, and which threads the next person inherits. The first two come from PagerDuty and GitHub, and anything with no fix merged lands in the open list.
How do I hand off an incident that isn't fixed yet?
Mitra gives unresolved pages their own list in the handoff note, with how long each has been open. The agent looks for an ending: a resolved incident, a merged fix, a closed issue. Anything without one stays on that list, so the next on-call inherits a short read.
