Escalation

Enable your customers to escalate their requests directly from Slack.

Overview

Thena escalation is designed to facilitate the efficient handling of escalated issues or requests from customers. When a customer escalates a request, they will see the custom message and be guided to provide additional information. The request is then automatically directed to the specified Slack channel and to the incident management platform of your choice if configured.
