⚙ Automation and SLA
Rules that assign, escalate, follow up and close — and service targets measured against your real business hours.
What is it?
Automation is a set of conditions and actions. When a ticket matches the conditions (department, category, priority, keyword, age, sender, status) the system performs the actions: assign, reprioritise, label, notify, reply, escalate or close.
SLA policies define first-response and resolution targets, measured against configured working days, hours and public holidays, and can differ per company.
Why does it exist?
The tickets that damage a business are not the difficult ones, they are the forgotten ones. Automation guarantees that an unanswered ticket becomes somebody’s problem before the customer has to chase.
And a target measured against the wrong clock is worse than no target: a ticket arriving at 6pm Friday should not be a breach by Monday.
