How to set it up

  • Go to Admin > Workflows \> SLA Policies
  • Because how fast you're required to respond to tickets depends on its priority, you can set-up a different SLA target for the different ticket priorities- urgent, high, medium and low
  • Choose whether the SLA timer should be calculated based on Business or Calendar hours

  • If you'd like to enable escalations when service levels are violated, make sure that the Escalation option is toggled on
  • Click Save to finish setting up your SLA Policy

    • How to enable reminders and escalations

    For a step-by-step guide on how to set-up reminders and escalations, head to this article.

  • To enable notifications via email for response SLA violation, go to Admin > Workflows > Email Notifications and toggle on the Next response SLA reminder and violation.

  • To enable desktop notifications, click on the bell icon on the top right of your screen then click on settings to have them enabled

    • Response SLA in ticket views

    You can filter your ticket view based on the next response due time. Against every ticket, you'll find details on the next response due time.
