Standard Biggy Integrations

Biggy has standard integrations available with the following tool categories:

Tool categories

Some Biggy integrations may fall into multiple categories. 

On-Call

On-call tools are incident response and on-call management platforms. These integrations enable automated paging, escalations, notifications, and coordination during critical incidents. 

You can integrate Biggy with the following on-call tools:

Jira Service Management

Use the Jira Service Management (JSM) integration to retrieve on-call schedules, rotations, and contacts.

The following JSM operations permissions must be enabled to use the integration:

  • read:ops-config:jira-service-management

  • read:jira-user

  • read:me

  • offline_access

To set up the integration, click Connect JSM. You'll be redirected to the Atlassian page where you will need to grant Biggy access to your Atlassian account. Click Accept to enable the integration.

OpsGenie

The OpsGenie integration is used for alerting and on-call management.

To configure the OpsGenie integration, enter your OpsGenie API Key.

PagerDuty

The PagerDuty integration is used for incident response and alerting.

In PagerDuty, generate a user token API key with the following permissions granted:

  • users.contact_methods.read

  • incidents.write

  • incidents.read

To configure the PagerDuty integration, enter your PagerDuty Email address and a user token API Key.

Paging Targets

You can set up paging targets in Managed Incident Channels escalation workflows. These paging targets will receive a notification during an incident.

To add a paging target, go to the Search Query box and type the name of a service. Matching services will appear in the menu to the right. Select a service to add it to the configuration.

You can also click + Add Manual Target to manually add a target without searching for it.

After selecting the service, populate the following information in the Configured Targets section:
