### Enable PagerDuty for Your Bolt Schedules

After enabling the integration, you can configure which Bolt Schedules should create incidents in PagerDuty when they fail.

To configure incident creation:

1. Navigate to **Bolt** > **Schedules** in the Paradime interface.
2. Select the schedule you want to monitor.
3. Open the [**Integration Settings**](https://docs.paradime.io/app-help/documentation/bolt/creating-schedules/trigger-integrations/trigger-pagerduty-alarms) for that schedule.
4. Enable **PagerDuty Incident Creation** to automatically create incidents in PagerDuty when the schedule fails.

Once enabled, any failures in the configured Bolt Schedules will automatically trigger incident creation in PagerDuty, allowing your team to respond quickly to data pipeline issues.

### PagerDuty Integration Capabilities

Paradime uses the PagerDuty Events API v2 to send real-time alerts for [Bolt Schedules](https://docs.paradime.io/app-help/documentation/bolt).

This integration enables you to:

* Receive immediate notifications when pipelines fail
* Automatically create incidents in PagerDuty for orchestration errors
* Leverage PagerDuty's on-call schedules and escalation policies
* Track and respond to data pipeline issues through your existing incident management workflow
