Add a Milestone Action to an SLA Policy
Milestone actions are time-dependent workflow actions that occur at every step (milestone) in an SLA policy. After you create an SLA policy and add milestones to it, add milestone actions to the milestones.

If you want to add a warning or violation action, add a time trigger first. After you
add a trigger, the option to add a workflow action appears. Success actions use the
milestone’s time trigger.
Tip If you want a violation action to fire immediately after the milestone is violated, set the time trigger to 0 minutes. -
Click Add Workflow Action and select an option.
