Step 1: Configure User Profile

You can skip this step if you want. All this has been taken care of when your account was registered. If you still want to change some of the configurations then follow through.

• Contact Information
• Notification Settings

Step 2: Download Mobile App

TaskCall offers a mobile application for both iOS and Android. We predict that users mostly use the mobile application day to day. It makes it extremely easy to manage all your incidents from the tip of your hands. We highly recommend you downloading the mobile application and logging in with your credentials.

• iOS
• Android

Step 3: Add Users

No organization account is complete without its members. You need to invite your colleagues to register themselves on to TaskCall.

• Invite Users

Step 4: Setup On-Call Management

This is the core of the setup process. Please pay close attention to this step. The steps you will be performing here are central to TaskCall. Don't worry if you are not familiar with some of the terminology. Just follow through to the linked documentations. They should explain everything. You will have it all under control!

• Create an On-Call Routine
• Create an Escalation Policy and add the routine you created to it
• Create a Service and the add escalation policy you created above to it. This will allow incidents created on the service to trigger notifications to the on-call users associated to its routine.
  
  If you want to add integrations to the service, you do that after you finish this Quick Start Guide by following the Service Integrations documentation.

Step 5: Create Your First Incident

Now you are ready to trigger your first incident and receive notification alerts.

1. From the navigation bar, go to Incidents. Click on the New Incident button on the top right hand side.
2. Give it a title, a description and set the urgency level.
3. Set the incident to trigger on the service that you had created earlier. Make sure that you are the primary on-call in the escalation policy that is associated to the service. If you are not then the incident will not be assigned to you and you will not be receiving any notification. Alternatively, you can also add yourself as an additional assignee to the incident. That way the incident will be assigned to you regardless.
4. Select the option to Trigger incident immediately. Then click the Create button up top.
5. You will be directed back to the Incidents page where you will be able to see the incident you just created.
6. By this time, you should start receiving email, push, SMS and voice call notifications for the incident based on your notification settings.
7. You can acknowledge or resolve the incident from within these notifications (except for email) or take other actions from the web application. You can click on the incident to view more of its details that what is shown in the list. You can do the same from the mobile application.

Congratulations! You have successfully created your first incident. You should be ready to explore the rest of the platform on your own. Refer to more documentations or reach out to us directly if you need more help.
