Example 1: Automatically link a war room channel during a major incident

When a high-severity incident is triggered, use this action to automatically link your sre-war-room channel in the SRE Team within your PagerDuty Microsoft Teams organization. Pair this with a notification action that sends the Channel URL output to responders, so the entire team has immediate access to the coordination channel.
