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.
