What it does

When a Front conversation crosses an SLA-risk threshold (for example, 75% of its first-response window elapsed) while still unanswered, this workflow pulls live per-teammate open-conversation counts and reassigns the at-risk conversation to whoever currently has the lightest load. It leaves an internal comment so the original assignee and the team see exactly why the handoff happened.

When to use it

Run this when one or two agents get buried while others sit idle and tickets silently breach SLA. It keeps response times even across the team without a lead manually shuffling the inbox.

How it works

  1. 1A Front rule fires when a conversation hits the SLA-risk window and is still unassigned or unanswered.
  2. 2The flow queries Front for each online teammate's current open-conversation count.
  3. 3A balancing step picks the eligible teammate with the lowest active load (skipping anyone marked away).
  4. 4If every agent is over capacity, it escalates to the team lead instead.
  5. 5Front reassigns the conversation to the chosen teammate.
  6. 6An internal comment logs the prior owner, new owner, and time-to-breach for the audit trail.
