What it does

This workflow runs a rolling forecast over your live Zendesk backlog. It looks at each open ticket's SLA clock, remaining time, and recent agent activity, then flags any ticket projected to miss its target reply or resolution deadline within the next four hours. Flagged tickets are pushed to the top of the matching ClickUp list with an updated priority and a due date set to the breach moment.

When to use it

Run this when your support team works tickets out of ClickUp but SLAs are tracked in Zendesk, and queue order drifts out of sync with what's actually urgent. It keeps agents pulling the right ticket next without anyone manually triaging.

How it works

  1. 1A 15-minute schedule fires the run.
  2. 2Pull all open and pending tickets with active SLA policies from Zendesk.
  3. 3For each ticket, compute time-to-breach from the SLA target minus elapsed clock time, then keep only those breaching within 4 hours.
  4. 4Branch on severity: tickets under 1 hour get urgent priority, the rest get high.
  5. 5Update each mirrored ClickUp task's priority, due date, and sort rank.
  6. 6Post a ranked at-risk list back to the queue channel.
