StatusPage Usage - Audience Specific Pages

Chris Milton

Hi team,

We are currently using StatusPage and we're exploring the pros and cons of Audience specific pages for some of our key customers

I have a couple of questions and would appreciate people's views/experiences:

• Ideally I would like to use StatusPage as a single pane of glass, where we can publish all news relevant to that customer, and not just Incidents and Maintenances (for example, an upcoming change in the Market, which is neither an Incident nor Maintenance)
• Can anyone share any examples of how an audience specific page looks and feels different to the standard page (we are currently on the BUSINESS plan)?
• Does anyone know whether a free trial is offered, so I could see how the page would look in real life for one of our customers before we commit to the additional cost?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Chris

Hello @Chris Milton 

Thank you for contacting Atlassian Community!

• Using StatusPage Beyond Incidents and Maintenance: To use StatusPage as a comprehensive communication tool, you could consider customising your updates. While the platform is primarily designed for incidents and maintenance, you can use the "Informational" updates feature to share other types of news, such as market changes or general announcements. This will allow your customers to receive all relevant information through a single channel, enhancing transparency and communication.

• Look and Feel Differences of Audience-Specific Pages: Audience-specific pages can be tailored to meet the unique needs of your key customers. While the core design elements remain similar to the standard pages, audience-specific pages allow for more targeted communication. This means you can customise the content and notifications to be more relevant to specific customer groups, which can improve user engagement and satisfaction. If anyone has visual examples or further insights, they might be able to provide more detailed feedback.
  You can refer to: https://support.atlassian.com/statuspage/docs/audience-specific-page-example/ for the specific page example

• Free Trial Availability: Yes, StatusPage offers a free trial for audience-specific pages, allowing you to test all features before making a purchase. This trial period enables you to see how the page would look and function in real-time for your customers without any initial commitment. For more information on what each trial plan includes for different page types, you can visit the following link: Atlassian Support - Free Trial. This will help you determine the best setup for your needs before committing to any additional costs.

I hope the details provided are helpful!
