v20230201

Hi Dispatch users!

This is the first release of 2023! It's been a while since our last release but there are lots of improvements that we are really excited about. Take a look as always let us know if you find any issues!

Highlights:

Migration to the Slack Bolt client - This migration was much more difficult than anticipated with a lot of edge cases and the fixing of behaviors. This migration should put us in a better place going forward and allow us to iterate and add features to our Slack integration at a greater speed going forward. It improves the UI/UX experience for some Slack slash commands where their output is being displayed in Slack modals vs ephemeral messages.

As part of the bolt migration, we've taken the opportunity of modifying some commands (/dispatch-list-incidents, and /dispatch-list-participants) to use modals for their output instead of cluttering up the incident conversation channel.

Case Notifications - This release contains the ability for cases to create Slack notifications for all new cases, allowing for the management of these cases from within slack. We currently only support a case notification channel on a per-case-type basis. A future release will include the ability to enroll additional individuals and teams similar to how they are included in incidents.

Dashboard Performance - Improvements have been made to limit the amount of data that bulk endpoints such as /incidents and /cases return. This should drastically improve the performance of those endpoints and the dashboards that use those endpoints.

Project Defaults - We now set reasonable default resources for new projects. Having default incident types, incident priorities, case types, case priorities, etc., allows new projects to get off the group more quickly. These are just hardcoded for now, but were interested in getting back if project templates would be useful to you. For an example see here.
