Returns escalation policies that have at least one of these tags. | | include | string | Comma-separated list of included relationships to be returned. Allowed values: `teams`, `steps`, `steps.targets`, `steps.targets.schedule`, `user.color`. `user.color` populates the `color` attribute of users included through `steps.targets`. | ### Response {% tab title="200" %} OK {% tab title="Model" %} A paginated list of escalation policies, with any related resources requested through `include`. | Parent field | Field | Type | Description | | ---------------------- | ------------------------------- | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | data [*required*] | [object] | A list of escalation policies. | | data | attributes | object | Defines the main attributes of an escalation policy, such as its name and behavior on policy end. | | attributes | name [*required*] | string | Specifies the name of the escalation policy. | | attributes | resolve_page_on_policy_end | boolean | Indicates whether the page is automatically resolved when the policy ends. | | attributes | retries | int64 | Specifies how many times the escalation sequence is retried if there is no response. | | attributes | tags | [string] | A list of tags attached to the escalation policy, in `key:value` format. | | data | id [*required*] | string | Specifies the unique identifier of the escalation policy. | | data | relationships | object | Represents the relationships for an escalation policy, including references to steps and teams. | | relationships | steps [*required*] | object | Defines the relationship to a collection of steps within an escalation policy.
