Features
Everything on-call needs, minus the spreadsheet
One place to decide who is on call, reach them when something breaks, and pass the pager with context.
-
Rotation builder
Set up daily, weekly or follow-the-sun rotations across time zones. Rotaline shows gaps and overlaps before you publish.
-
Swaps and overrides
Request a swap in two clicks. The team lead approves it from email or chat, and the schedule updates for everyone.
-
Escalation policies
Multi-step escalation by push notification, SMS and phone call, so an unanswered page always reaches someone.
-
Handoff notes
A structured note at every shift change, with open incidents carried over automatically to the next person.
-
Calendar sync
Shifts appear in Google Calendar, Outlook or any iCal client, and update when a swap is approved.
-
Fairness report
On-call hours per person, including nights and weekends, so load stays even across the team.
How it works
From first alert to clean handoff in three steps
Most teams are live on Rotaline the same day they sign up.
-
Step 1: Connect your alerts
Connect your alerting tools with a webhook or one of 40 built-in integrations.
POST /v1/alerts -

Teams that stopped arguing about the pager
We used to argue about who covered the holidays. Now the fairness report settles it before anyone asks.
The handoff note is the feature I didn't know I needed. I start every shift knowing what's still burning.
Setting up follow-the-sun across three offices took one afternoon.

FAQ
Questions teams ask before switching
Can I import my existing schedule from a spreadsheet?
Yes. Upload a CSV or paste rows from Google Sheets or Excel, and Rotaline maps names and dates to a rotation. It flags gaps and overlaps so you can fix them before publishing.
What happens if nobody acknowledges an alert?
The alert moves to the next step of the escalation policy, for example the secondary on-call after five minutes and then the team lead by phone. If the last step goes unanswered, the policy repeats until someone acknowledges.
Do you charge for SMS and phone calls?
No. SMS and phone alerts are included in the Team and Business per-user price, with no per-message fees.
Can contractors or people outside my company be on a rotation?
Yes. Invite anyone with an email address as a guest responder. Guests can take shifts, receive alerts and write handoff notes, and they count as regular users for billing.
