Workflow Engine/Escalation Overview

Documentation

The HotH Work Flow Engine (Escalator) automatically escalates Tickets and notifies parties.

The Escalator module is like another member of staff on your HotH team. It constantly monitors the Tickets, Tasks and even Contracts within HotH and, if configured to do so, will issue alerts if the required jobs are not being performed within the timescales specified, or if contracts are due to expire. It will also trigger the synchronisation with third party modules with which HotH can integrate.

The alerts take the form of E-mail notifications and you can configure the exact circumstances and recipients of these alerts.

The exact circumstances of time breaches to which the Escalator can respond and create pop-up notifications are:

For logged Tickets:

  • Ticket Response Time
  • Ticket Warning Time
  • Ticket Action Time

For Tasks:

  • Reminder Time
  • Schedule Time

For underlying information:

  • Customer Expiry
  • Contact Expiry
  • Asset Expiry
  • Contract Expiry

There are various circumstances when the Escalator will send E-mails, jump to the section “The Escalator and E-Mail”.
