What it does

For your largest contracts, a normal ticket is not enough — someone needs to be paged. This workflow watches new Zendesk tickets, confirms the account is above your enterprise ARR line in Salesforce, and turns the ticket into a real on-call incident with an SLA countdown visible to the whole team.

When to use it

Use it when top-tier customers carry contractual response SLAs that the support queue alone cannot guarantee. It suits teams with PagerDuty rotations who must wake someone for revenue-critical accounts after hours.

How it works

  1. 1A new Zendesk ticket triggers the flow and passes the requester and subject.
  2. 2The flow looks up the account in Salesforce and reads ARR and the contracted SLA tier.
  3. 3A branch confirms ARR clears the enterprise threshold; everything below exits without paging.
  4. 4For qualifying tickets, the flow opens a PagerDuty incident with the ticket link, ARR, and SLA deadline.
  5. 5A Slack message announces the escalation and SLA clock in the on-call channel so responders have context before the page lands.
