How SLA and Escalation Rules Work

Turn SLA risk into timely escalation actions

  1. Conversation Enters SLA Tracking

    A customer case starts and MonoChat monitors response time, waiting time and resolution progress.

  2. Rules Detect Risk

    The workflow detects overdue replies, negative sentiment, VIP status or urgent customer intent.

  3. Escalate & Resolve

    Cases are routed to the right team, manager or senior agent with full context and next steps.

Example conversations

SLA escalation workflow examples

Behind each chat run a timer and a set of rules. The customer only sees fast, honest updates; the supervisor sees the risk before it becomes a breach.

  • Reassigning a chat before the first-response SLA is missed

    When no agent has replied close to the target time, MonoChat alerts the supervisor and moves the chat to a free agent, so the customer gets an answer before the deadline.

  • Escalating a repeat complaint to a supervisor

    A rule spots the third contact about the same issue, raises the priority and brings in a supervisor who can offer more than a standard answer.

  • Sending status updates on an escalated ticket

    Approved WhatsApp templates keep the customer informed at every step of an escalation, which cuts the "any update?" messages that fill the queue.

    Next update by 16:00

    Hi Alex, your ticket is now with our engineering team. We will update you by 16:00 at the latest.

    11:30

    Thanks. Is there a workaround for today?

    11:42

    Yes: export to CSV instead of PDF from Reports > Invoices. It uses the same data.

    11:43

    Update: the fix is live. Please try the PDF export again.
