TICKET MANAGEMENT

Escalate Imminent SLA Breaches to On-Call via PagerDuty

When a high-priority ticket is predicted to breach SLA within one hour and remains unassigned or untouched, raises a PagerDuty incident so on-call leadership intervenes.

  • LogicBranch: any imminent stalled breach?

What it does

Watches the most urgent tail of the SLA-breach forecast and escalates the genuinely dangerous cases, tickets about to breach within an hour that nobody has picked up, to PagerDuty on-call.

When to use it

When a missed SLA on a top-tier customer carries contractual or revenue consequences and a Slack ping is not enough. This is the last-resort safety net.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule fires every 10 minutes.
  2. 2Pulls open Front conversations filtered to high-priority or premium-SLA tiers.
  3. 3Computes time-to-breach and isolates tickets predicted to breach within 60 minutes that are still unassigned or have no agent reply.
  4. 4A branch confirms at least one ticket meets the imminent-and-stalled criteria; otherwise it exits.
  5. 5Opens (or de-duplicates) a PagerDuty incident with severity scaled to customer tier, embedding ticket link, customer, and minutes remaining.
  6. 6Records the escalation in Postgres so breach near-misses can be audited and SLA reporting stays honest.
