Hi Everyone,
In this tutorial, we will show you how you can monitor an SLA, and send notifications before or after the SLA has been breached.
SLA Threshold Trigger
The SLA threshodl trigger allows you to respond to an SLA that is about to breach, or is already breached, by a threshold determined by you. This allows you to give timely feedback to your customers, alert agents and automatically prioritise requests accordingly.

Rule 1: SLA is about to Breach Notification
In the first rule, we send an email notification X minutes before the ticket is about to breach its SLA.
SLA Threshold Trigger:
- SLA: Select the SLA you want to monitor
- Trigger when SLA has: "will breach in the X minutes"
Send Email Action Template:
Subject:
{{issue.key}} is about to breach its "Time To First Response" SLA in 5 minutesContent:
Hi Service Agents,
{{issue.key}} will breach its "Time To First Response" SLA in 5 minutes. You should action or reassign it as soon as possible.
Summary:
- Key: {{issue.key}}
- Summary: {{issue.summary}}
- Link: <a href="{{issue.url}}">{{issue.url}}</a>
Cheers,
