What it does

This is the safety net that catches faults nobody picked up. On a fixed cadence it finds stale open anomalies and pushes them up the escalation ladder before they become outages or comfort complaints.

When to use it

Run it alongside your intake workflow so any anomaly that sits Open past its target response time automatically escalates. Best for teams with tiered on-call who need SLA enforcement without a human watching the queue.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule trigger fires on a set interval (for example every 10 minutes).
  2. 2An Airtable action queries the fault register for records still Open past their SLA threshold.
  3. 3A logic step buckets each overdue fault by how long it has aged and which escalation tier it belongs to.
  4. 4An action escalates qualifying faults in PagerDuty, bumping urgency or reassigning to the next on-call tier.
  5. 5The output posts a consolidated aging report to the facilities management Slack channel so leadership sees what is slipping.
