About This Automation

SLA monitoring requires support staff to manually check ticket deadlines, calculate breach status, and alert team members multiple times daily. Manual calculations and spreadsheet logging consume hours weekly and delay critical escalations.

Automation continuously monitors ticket age against SLA deadlines, instantly alerts responsible team members when breaches occur, and generates real-time compliance reports. The team catches issues before they escalate and focuses on resolution instead of tracking.

Key features
Calculate SLA deadlines automatically based on ticket priority and policy rules
Monitor ticket age in real time and flag approaching or breached deadlines
Send instant alerts to assigned team members when SLA status changes
Generate weekly compliance reports with breach trends and team performance
Escalate critical breaches to management with full ticket context

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Ticket Created or Updatedtrigger

A new ticket is created or an existing ticket is updated with a status or priority change.

2. Extract Ticket Data

The automation platform retrieves ticket ID, customer name, priority, creation time, and assigned.

3. Calculate SLA Deadline

The automation applies the SLA policy rules to the ticket priority and calculates the first response and resolution deadlines automatically.

4. Check Breach Status

The automation compares the current time to the calculated deadlines and determines if the ticket is on track, approaching breach, or breached.

5. Send Alert

If the ticket is approaching or has breached SLA, the automation sends a formatted alert to the assigned and manager with ticket details and deadline.

6. Log to Tracking Sheet

The automation appends ticket data, SLA status, and timestamp to a Google Sheet for audit and reporting.

7. Update Record

The automation updates the customer record with the latest SLA status and breach flag for CRM visibility.
