Setting Up SLA Timers

Updated Jul 28, 2026 1 min read 247 views

What Are SLA Timers?

An SLA timer is a countdown attached to any entity. When it expires, escalation actions fire automatically: remind the assignee, notify the manager, reassign the work.

Creating an SLA Policy

Go to Autopilot → SLA Policies and click + New Policy. Choose the entity type (Lead, Task, Invoice, Approval), set the time limit, and configure escalation steps.

Escalation Ladder

Each SLA policy has an escalation ladder: Step 1 — Remind assignee (at 80% of time). Step 2 — Notify manager (at 100%). Step 3 — Reassign to backup (at 120%). Step 4 — Alert leadership (at 150%).

Business Hours

SLA timers respect your configured business hours. A 4-hour SLA set at 4 PM on Friday pauses overnight and on weekends — the clock resumes Monday 9 AM.

Visual Status

Every SLA shows as: On TrackAt RiskBreached. The Command Center shows all SLAs across your organization at a glance.
