PUT/api/v1/incidents/{id}

Changes the title, summary, severity or commander. A field left out or empty keeps its value, so a field cannot be cleared this way. severity must be one of the four values, and a commander_id other than the caller must be a member of the organization who can respond to alerts, as on create. When the incident is published to a status page, a new title — and a changed severity, as the public impact — is relayed there.

Send the incident's version to make the edit conditional: if someone changed the incident since you read it, nothing is written (409 EDIT_CONFLICT).

Permission (API-key scope): oncall:incident:write.
