Check whether an existing webhook and automation already handle those events. Reuse them where appropriate, or narrow overlapping triggers before adding another automation. One delivery can match multiple automations. See [automation matching rules](/factories/automations/#how-matching-works). +3.

In the investigation's existing conversation, ask the foreman to delegate the approved fix to implement and obtain independent review. Include the acceptance criteria and require a regression test, repository checks, and a report of failed or unverified checks. +3. Review the pull request, validation results, and review findings. Address failures and decide whether unverified checks need more evidence before merging or deploying through your normal approval process. ## Example workflow From 4e7eb50d593444245da627c47da22dce98426439 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rachael Rose Renk <91027132+rachaelrenk@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 16:05:44 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 5/5] docs: link incident credentials to factory secrets setup Co-Authored-By: Warp --- .../factories/use-cases/production-incident-resolution.mdx | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/content/docs/factories/use-cases/production-incident-resolution.mdx b/src/content/docs/factories/use-cases/production-incident-resolution.mdx index 7f545d8b5..cf1aef16a 100644 --- a/src/content/docs/factories/use-cases/production-incident-resolution.mdx +++ b/src/content/docs/factories/use-cases/production-incident-resolution.mdx @@ -38,7 +38,7 @@ The example uses Sentry [issue webhooks](https://docs.sentry.io/integrations/int If your Sentry project mixes environments, use an event type that includes environment information and filter that field explicitly.
