Tier 1
After 2 hours
Alert assigned technician and send reminder notification
Tier 2
After 4 hours
Notify team lead and offer job reassignment
Tier 3
After 8 hours
Alert operations manager and auto-reassign to available tech
Tier 4
After 24 hours
Executive alert and customer proactive communication

2

Configure Escalation Tiers

Set up multi-level escalation with increasing urgency and different notification recipients.

3

Set Up Notifications

Configure how escalations are communicated - email, SMS, push notifications, or Slack alerts.

4
