How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Ticket Created or Updatedtrigger

A new support ticket is created or an existing ticket is updated in the ticketing system. The automation is triggered immediately upon ticket creation or status change.

2. Extract Ticket Data

The automation retrieves ticket details including creation time, priority, SLA policy, and current status from the ticketing system. This data is used to calculate SLA metrics.

3. Calculate SLA Time Remaining

An intelligent calculates the time remaining until the SLA deadline based on ticket age, priority, and SLA policy. the automation determines if the ticket is at risk (within 2 hours of deadline) or has breached.

4. Is Ticket At Risk or Breached?

The automation checks if the ticket is within 2 hours of its SLA deadline or has already breached. If yes, an alert is sent. If no, the ticket is logged and monitoring continues.

5. Send Real-Time Alert

If the ticket is at risk or breached, an automated message is sent to the support team's channel with ticket details, time remaining, and recommended action.

6. Log Breach

If the ticket has breached its SLA, the breach is automatically logged for tracking and reporting. This creates a permanent record for analysis.

7. Update SLA Dashboard

The automation updates a real-time SLA dashboard with current ticket status, time remaining, and breach count. This provides visibility to the entire team.
