About This Automation

SLA monitoring requires support managers to manually scan tickets, cross-reference rules, and identify breaches multiple times daily. This repetitive work consumes hours monthly and delays critical alerts to agents.

Automation continuously monitors all tickets against SLA thresholds and instantly notifies the right person when a ticket approaches or exceeds its deadline. Escalations are logged automatically and consistently applied.

Key features
Monitor all open tickets against SLA thresholds in real time
Route alerts to the correct agent or team based on priority and escalation rules
Log escalation actions automatically in your ticketing system
Reduce time to alert from 45 minutes to 2 minutes
Track breach rates and escalation history for reporting

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Ticket Reaches SLA Thresholdtrigger

The automation platform monitors all open tickets and triggers when a ticket's elapsed time exceeds 75 percent of its assigned SLA window.

2. Fetch Ticket and SLA Details

The automation retrieves the full ticket record, including priority, assigned, customer name, and SLA deadline.

3. Evaluate Escalation Rules

An intelligent evaluates the ticket against escalation rules stored, determining the correct escalation path based on priority, channel, and current workload.

4. Route Alert

The automation sends a targeted message to the assigned or escalation channel with ticket details, time remaining, and recommended action.

5. Create Escalation Record

For critical breaches, the automation creates an incident to ensure on-call responders are notified and tracked.

6. Log Escalation

The automation adds an internal note to the ticket documenting the automated escalation, timestamp, and SLA status.

7. Send Manager Summary Report

At the end of each shift, the automation sends a summary to the support manager listing all escalated tickets, their current status, and any breaches that occurred.
