Issue Summary
The notifications of the Incoming call alerts unlike regular alerts, uses the on-call users "Incoming Call Routing" notification rule instead of the "New Alert" notification rule.
The difference is that the "Incoming Call Routing" notification rule:
- does not allow delay of any of the notification methods
- does not have a repeat function
Suggested Solutions
To please give the Incoming Call Routing notification rule the following capabilities (like in the "New Alert" notification rule):
- delay notification methods within
- repeat the notification rule
Workaround
If the Incoming Call is only forwarded to one escalation policy or team, the following workaround can be used:
- Turn on Advanced integration mode and
- Populate the "Responders" field with the appropriate Escalation policy or Team.
The resulting Incoming Call alert will behave like a regular alert using the on-call user's "New Alert" notification rule which allows the on-call user to delay notification methods and/or repeat the applicable "new alert" notification rule.
Suggest creating a separate "New Alert" notification rule with the following filter:
- Source contains phone
- Name it appropriately, like: "IncomingCall Alert"
and move this notification rule above the default all notification rule so that it gets evaluated first.
