Add Round Robin to your workspace and understand exactly which Slack scopes it asks for — and why.
How can we help?
Everything you need to set up and run on-call rotations, right inside Slack.
Start here
Section titled “Start here”How Round Robin works
Rotations, duty, schedules, codes, mentions — the handful of ideas the rest of these docs assume.
Your first rotation
Create a rotation, add teammates, and pick who goes first. You’ll be live in a couple of minutes.
Put it on a schedule
Rotate daily, weekly, or on your own cadence — including business-hours-only coverage.
Ask your AI
Section titled “Ask your AI”Slack AI
Enable it once and anyone in your workspace can ask Slack’s built-in AI “who’s on call for payments?” — no setup for members.
Your own assistant (MCP)
Connect Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client to Round Robin: query on-call state, or let it create and schedule rotations for you.
