PagerDuty App Functionality

App Functionality	Description
Events Integration	Send machine events from your tool to PagerDuty over our asynchronous Events API. This is the best way for monitoring tools to connect with PagerDuty in order to trigger incidents.
Simple Install Flow	If you're using the Events API, your users can quickly connect to PagerDuty directly from your tool with the Simple Install Flow! See Demo
Classic User OAuth	Connect to our REST API as a PagerDuty User to administer PagerDuty or access data (create an on-call schedule, get a list of team members, etc).
Scoped OAuth	Connect to our REST API as a PagerDuty App or a PagerDuty User with detailed scopes to administer PagerDuty or access data (create an on-call schedule, get a list of team members, etc).

More ways to integrate with PagerDuty

These platform features are not available through PagerDuty's app configuration framework (yet!) but are still available for your app to use.

REST API Token	If you need account-level access to a PagerDuty account, you can request a token from PagerDuty admin users.
Webhooks	PagerDuty will send messages to your tool when certain activities occur. For example: when an incident is triggered, when a note is added to an incident, etc). There are 2 ways to create a webhook extension: Over the REST API with the /extensions endpoint In the PagerDuty web interface
