Adding External Links

Links will allow the attachment of relevant information to the incident from FireHydrant. You can use this to:

  • Add links to external dashboards that give responders important information
  • Associate important external information with a particular incident
  • Give responders a single index to view everything related to an incident

You can add links via a Slack command or with the command center page on the web.

In Slack, you can add a link to the incident inside the incident channel. Run the command /fh add link and you’ll find the modal below.
