When it matters, we call a human —
and keep calling.
Modern cloud phone systems only ping an app. Escalate turns alerts, voicemails, and webhooks into real phone calls that ring person after person until someone presses 1.
Your UCaaS won’t call a person when a voicemail or critical alert lands — it fires an in-app notification into a channel and hopes someone’s watching. Escalate closes that gap. Connect email, Slack, Teams, Zapier, IoT sensors, or any custom webhook, and Escalate runs a phone tree until a human acknowledges — with a full response log for management. Purpose-built and simple enough for a single on-call tech or an entire cross-functional team.
How it works
Turns any alert, voicemail, or webhook into a sequential phone call
Rings person after person until someone presses 1
Connects to Slack, Teams, email, Zapier, IoT, and any custom webhook
Timestamped response log for every escalation — no ticketing system required
Proof
From alert echo-storm to a single accountable responder
Situation: An IT team routed Zabbix outage alerts into a shared Slack channel. Every incident set off an all-hands echo storm with no clear owner, pulling in tangentially related teams.
Action: Escalate routed those alerts into a phone tree that called the right person first, while the channel could still see who answered.
Result: Lower stress for the team, faster resolution times, and a clean response log for management.
▸ One accountable owner per incident — no more echo storms
One system for the phone tree and the IoT network
Situation: A multi-plant manufacturer's facilities team needed escalation but not a full ticketing system — and wanted HVAC and refrigeration alerts handled too.
Action: Escalate delivered phone-tree escalation and tied directly into their IoT network.
Result: One tool covered both alert types — and was popular enough that other departments adopted it.
▸ Adopted across departments from a single team
24/7 safety response without a custom build
Situation: A publicly traded company's PR team needed round-the-clock response to safety incidents. Their phone system could only alert an app, and IT's proposed custom application would be hard to maintain.
Action: Escalate integrated with their existing platform — easy to configure and easy to maintain.
Result: PR kept its response approach with no fragile custom code to own.
▸ 24/7 coverage, zero custom development
