Frequently Asked Questions
How long does PagerDuty integration take?
Setup takes less than 5 minutes. Install the DeepCost app, authorize it, and configure notification channels. You'll start receiving cost alerts immediately based on your preferences.
What PagerDuty permissions does DeepCost need?
DeepCost requires permissions to send messages and notifications. We never read message history, access private conversations, or request unnecessary permissions beyond sending alerts.
How is my cost data secured?
All communication uses encrypted HTTPS connections. Cost data in notifications is visible only to designated recipients. We follow SOC 2 compliance standards and PagerDuty's security best practices.
Can I customize alert routing and frequency?
Yes, you have full control over which alerts go where and how often. Configure budget alerts for finance teams, anomaly alerts for engineering, and customize notification thresholds to avoid alert fatigue.
Can team members query costs on-demand?
Absolutely. Incident integration allows team members to get instant cost insights without leaving their workflow. Query current spend, budgets, and recommendations anytime.
