About This Automation

SLA response time tracking means calculating deadlines for every ticket, watching for breaches, and compiling compliance reports by hand. Doing this in spreadsheets alongside a helpdesk system invites missed deadlines and reporting delays.

An automated version calculates deadlines the instant a ticket is created and watches every open ticket continuously for breach risk. It compiles the compliance report automatically at the end of each cycle, so nothing depends on someone remembering to check a spreadsheet.

Key features
Calculates response and resolution deadlines automatically from account tier and ticket priority
Monitors every open ticket continuously for breach risk without manual scanning
Notifies the assigned agent when a ticket approaches its deadline
Escalates unresolved breaches to management without a manual email step
Reconciles resolved ticket data automatically to catch missed or mistyped entries
Builds and distributes the compliance report at the end of each cycle
