## Overview{% #overview %}

Case Management provides the capability to create third-party integrations for generating notifications or tickets automatically or manually:

- Automatically: Each time a new case is created, it generates a new ticket or notification.
- Manually: Users choose to create tickets or notifications for specific cases.

By linking Case Management with third-party systems, you can integrate Datadog solutions into your existing workflows and processes. With the Jira and ServiceNow integrations, you can resolve cases using full-stack telemetry in Datadog while keeping a record in these third-party systems.

## Notifications{% #notifications %}

To get notified when a new case is created, create a view:

1. Navigate to the project you want to receive notifications for.
1. If you are not already a member of the project, click **Join This Project**.
1. Click **Add view**.
1. Give the view a name in the **Name** field.
1. In the search box, enter a filtered query to retrieve the cases you want to be notified for.
1. Select how you would like to be notified within the recipients field.
1. Click **Save**.

## Notification rules{% #notification-rules %}

You can configure notification rules in your project settings to receive alerts for key case-related updates. To create a notification rule:

1. Go to [**Project Settings**](https://app.datadoghq.com/cases/settings) and click on a project to expand its settings.
1. In the expanded menu, click **Notifications**.
1. Click **+ Create Rule** to add a notification rule.
1. In the query field, enter a filter to scope notifications to specific cases. For example:
   ```
   priority:P1 OR priority:P2
   ```
To receive notifications for **all cases**, leave the query blank.
1. Select which conditions will send a notification. You can choose one or more of the following:
   - Case creation
   - Status transitions
   - Priority changes
   - Assignee changes
   - New alert correlation (for event management cases)
1. Choose a notification destination. Supported destinations include:
   - Email
   - Slack
   - Microsoft Teams
   - PagerDuty
   - Webhook
1. Click **Save** to activate the rule.

## On-Call paging rules{% #on-call-paging-rules %}

From cases, you can manually or automatically page users with [Datadog On-Call](https://docs.datadoghq.com/incident_response/on-call/).

To manually trigger a page:

1. Open the case details.
1. Click the **Page** button.

To automatically trigger a page, configure automated paging rules in your project settings:

1. Go to [**Project Settings**](https://app.datadoghq.com/cases/settings) and click on a project to expand its settings.
1. In the expanded menu, click **Integrations** > **Datadog On-Call**.
1. Toggle on **Automatically page cases to On-Call**. This opens the Paging Rule modal, where you can define your first rule.
1. In the modal, enter a query. If a case matches the specified query at any point in its lifecycle, Datadog automatically pages the designated team.
1. Choose which team to page:
   - **Specific Team**: Select a particular team to always be paged when the rule is triggered.
   - **Dynamic Team Selection**: Automatically page the team associated with the case through the `Team` attribute.
1. Click **Add Rule**.
1. View your rule on the Datadog On-Call settings page. You can return to this page to manage this configuration or add multiple rules by clicking **New Paging Rule**.
1. (Optional) Toggle on the ability to automatically assign the case to the on-call user when a page is triggered.

## Third party tickets{% #third-party-tickets %}

In Project Settings, you can manage membership, configure the auto-closing of cases, and set up third-party integrations like Jira and ServiceNow.

   alt="Jira configuration options for case management settings" /%}

1. Ensure the Jira integration is configured.
1. In Case Management project settings, enable **Jira** for manual Jira issue creation from the project.
1. Select a Jira account, a project to create issues in, and the desired issue type (such as story, epic, bug, or task).
1. You can opt into the automatic creation of a Jira issue for each case created in the project.
1. For the following attributes—case title, description, assignee, comments, status, and priority—select one of the options below:
| Option                        | Description                                                                                                                             |
| ----------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Once to Jira at case creation | The field syncs from Case Management to Jira only at the time the case is created. Subsequent changes are not reflected on either side. |
| Two-way sync (bi-directional) | Changes in Case Management are reflected in Jira, and vice versa                                                                        |
| Don't sync                    | The field does not sync to Jira.                                                                                                        |
1. For case status and priority, select which values they map to on the Jira side.
1. Save changes.

**Notes**:

- A case can only be synced with one external resource at a time, per project. To enable Jira syncing, ServiceNow automatic creation and syncing must be disabled.

- Only cases using the core statuses of "Open", "In Progress" and "Closed" can sync with Jira.

- Two-way syncing requires [webhook support](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/jira/#configure-a-jira-webhook).

- Issue creation is available for Jira Cloud and Data Center. Field syncing is only available for Jira Cloud.

## Incident auto-escalation{% #incident-auto-escalation %}

Manual incident declaration during high event volumes can cause delays and increase risk exposure during critical situations. Incident auto-escalation from Cases allows you to automatically declare incidents when cases match your defined criteria, removing the need for manual intervention.

Navigate to the [Project Settings page](https://app.datadoghq.com/cases/settings), click **Integrations** > **Datadog Incidents**, and toggle on **Auto-escalate cases to Incidents**.

{% image
   source="https://datadog-docs.imgix.net/images/service_management/case_management/notifications_integrations/case_auto_escalation.5290bd78aebc580a2c6d8dc59abfec87.png?auto=format"
   alt="Case Management settings page showing incident auto-escalation configuration" /%}

When enabled, any case that meets your specified query criteria (at any point in its lifecycle) automatically triggers an incident, enabling faster response times for your team.
