SLA Automation for Support Tickets
Never miss a critical deadline again. Your AI agent monitors every ticket, flags overdue cases, and escalates urgent issues automatically—keeping your support team accountable and your customers happy.
You’re stuck digging through Intercom, Excel sheets, and email threads just to spot overdue tickets.

Missed deadlines cost you trust, revenue, and your reputation.
An AI agent that tracks, tags, and escalates overdue support tickets in Intercom, ensuring your team meets SLA deadlines and nothing falls through the cracks.
What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In SaaS customer support, managers spend hours each week combing through Intercom conversations and spreadsheets to identify tickets that missed SLA targets. Without automated tracking, urgent requests get buried, and escalation depends on manual follow-up. Reporting on SLA breaches is tedious, and holding agents accountable is nearly impossible. The result: dissatisfied clients and lost business.

Support Tickets Regularly Miss SLAs
You’re losing customer trust because tickets are slipping past SLA deadlines before anyone notices. You need an agent that flags and escalates overdue tickets automatically—no more manual tracking.
Managers Struggle to Hold Teams Accountable
You spend hours each week digging through tickets to see which ones missed SLAs and who dropped the ball. You want instant, auditable logs of every escalation and action, without manual reporting.
Critical Issues Get Buried in the Queue
High-priority tickets are lost among routine requests, and escalation only happens when a customer complains. You need an agent that tags and reassigns overdue tickets so your team can jump on them before it’s too late.
You Need Reliable SLA Reporting for Leadership
Leadership demands proof that SLAs are being met, but your current reporting is patchy and slow. You want every escalation and missed SLA logged automatically for easy, accurate reporting.
Manual Escalation is Error-Prone and Time-Consuming
Your team wastes valuable time checking timestamps, tagging, and reassigning tickets by hand. You need an agent to handle this instantly, so your team can focus on solving problems—not chasing tickets.
