Monitoring SLA Status
Updated Dec 15, 2025
Track SLA compliance and respond before deadlines are missed.
SLA Status Badges
In the conversation list, each conversation shows an SLA status badge:
- SLA on track (outline): Deadline is comfortably in the future
- SLA due soon (amber): Deadline is approaching
- SLA breached (red): Deadline has passed
Filtering by SLA Status
To focus on conversations that need immediate attention:
- Click the Filter button in the inbox
- Open Advanced Filters
- Find the SLA Status filter
- Select:
- Breached: Show only conversations with missed SLAs
- Due soon: Show conversations approaching their deadline
- All: Show all conversations regardless of SLA status
What Gets Tracked
For each conversation with an SLA policy, the system tracks:
First Response Timer
- Due at: When first response is expected
- Met at: When first response was actually sent
- Breached at: If deadline was missed
Resolution Timer
- Due at: When conversation should be closed
- Met at: When conversation was actually closed
- Breached at: If deadline was missed
Follow-Up Timer (if configured)
- Due at: When follow-up response is expected
- Met at: When follow-up was sent
- Breached at: If deadline was missed
SLA Breach Notifications
Use automation rules to get notified about SLA issues:
- Go to Settings > Automation
- Create a new rule with trigger:
- "SLA due soon" for early warning
- "SLA breached" for immediate notification
- Add an action to send an email to the team
- Optionally assign the conversation to a supervisor
This ensures someone is always aware when SLA targets are at risk.
