## Deduplication and You
Have you ever stumbled across the `dedup_key` in a PagerDuty event and wondered how you can put it to work for you? Mandi wrote up some hints and tips for using the `dedup_key` and posted it to our [ops.io blog](https://community.ops.io/pdcommunity/unlocking-alerts-and-managing-noise-with-pagerdutys-dedupkey-29cl). 

The post was inspired by a question on the [Community Forums](https://community.pagerduty.com), where you, too, can ask questions and get answers.
