Complaints Register & Resolution Tracking

Q: How does the system know who should resolve each complaint?

The system uses complaint category and priority to route each complaint to the correct team member or department automatically. Routing rules are configured based on your team structure and expertise.

Q: Will my team still need to check spreadsheets daily?

No. The system monitors all complaints continuously and sends automated reminders to resolution owners as deadlines approach.

Q: What if a complaint needs to be reassigned or escalated?

Your team can manually reassign or escalate complaints at any time through the system interface. The automation respects manual overrides and continues monitoring the updated assignment.

Q: Can the system work with our existing complaint data?

Yes. Historical complaint records can be imported into the system during setup.

Automation captures complaints at intake, routes them to the right owner, monitors deadlines, and escalates overdue items without manual intervention. the team focuses on resolution while the system handles routing and reminders.

Key features:

Capture complaints from email and support tickets automatically and extract key details

Route complaints to the correct resolution owner based on category and priority

Monitor complaint age and send reminders to owners approaching SLA deadlines

Escalate overdue complaints to management without manual spreadsheet reviews

Log resolution updates and close complaints with a complete audit trail

Track SLA compliance and generate monthly complaints reports

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Complaint Receivedtrigger

A new complaint arrives via email or support ticket. The automation detects the incoming message and extracts customer name, issue, and contact details.

2. Create Complaint Record

The automation creates a new complaint record with all extracted details, assigns a unique complaint ID, and sets the received date and initial severity.

3. Assign to Resolution Owner

The automation uses a rule engine to match the complaint category to the correct resolution owner and assigns the ticket automatically.

4. Set SLA Deadline and Notify Owner

The automation calculates the SLA deadline based on severity, sets it, and sends a notification to the assigned owner with the complaint details and deadline.

5. Daily Status Check and Escalation

The automation runs daily, identifies complaints approaching or past their SLA deadline, and sends automated reminder messages to resolution owners or escalates to management.

6. Log Resolution Update

When the resolution owner updates the complaint status or replies via email, the automation captures the update and records it in the complaint record.

7. Close and Archive Complaint

Once marked resolved, the automation updates the complaint status to closed, records the resolution date and outcome, and archives the record.
