An SLA policy (service level agreement) lets you set standards of performance for your support team. They're like a target, or a deadline, within which your team is expected to respond and resolve tickets. 


You can set targets for 

- the very first response that you send to the customer

- every response that's sent after the first response (Available from Estate) 

- the ticket resolution 


You can either have a single SLA policy for all tickets or have different SLA policies for different types of tickets. As an example, you can have a shorter SLA target for tickets from Social media or VIP customers. 



                               


In these series of articles, we'll be talking about


- Editing the default SLA policy

- Multiple SLA policies

- SLA targets for every response

- Reminders and escalations for an SLA policy 



Editing the default SLA policy


The default SLA policy applies to all your tickets.

  1. Login as an admin

  2. 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 should be calculated based on Business or Calendar hours


  • If you want to enable escalations when service levels are violated, make sure the Escalation option button is toggled on (Available from Estate onwards) 
  • Click Save to finish setting up your SLA Policy
