Your organization may have a process for escalating cases that remain open beyond a
specified period of time. To automate the process of escalating cases, create an escalation rule
that specifies what actions to take when cases are not resolved within a designated length of
time.
To get started with escalation rules,
consider these questions.
Determine the business hours. Do you have multiple support centers in multiple locations
and time zones? Are your support centers available 24/7? Do you have different support
hours for different days of the week?
Document your escalation process. Do you notify certain support representatives when
cases get escalated? How old does a case need to be before it is escalated? What case
attributes determine if and when it should be escalated?
Decide what escalation actions to take. Do you send an email when a case is escalated?
Do you notify the case owner when cases are escalated?
