# Opsgenie

Opsgenie manages alerts and connects to multiple communication, Security information and event management (SEIM), and other channels to notify your on-call teams of events that require resolution.

Apono’s Opsgenie integration allows you to perform the following tasks:

* Create access policies that are synced with Opsgenie on-call shifts
* Validate that the requester is on call
* Allocate the minimum amount of resources needed to resolve incidents
* Require on-call approver for developers assisting in incident response
