⏱️ Automatically closing incidents

A popular best practice: closing incidents automatically once they reach the “Resolved” status.
Members share how they’ve set it up and how much time it saves, helpful if you want to simplify your incident workflow.

🔧 Relative URLs in Action Sequences

A small but extremely helpful optimization: using relative URLs in your action sequences.
This makes your sequences work instantly in both test and production environments, no manual changes needed. Ideal for anyone working across multiple environments.
